How to reply to a mail in Outlook(win app) using python? - python

I want to reply a mail in Outlook web application using Python. I'm using the package win32com.client for sending the mails but not getting anything regarding reply. Can anyone please share the code....

You find the Application Object API under
https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/office/vba/api/outlook.application
'replying to an E-Mail' is not generic, since you must look it up in you custom folder structure.
For introduction an example of the API usage (sending an e-mail):
import win32com.client as win32
if __name__ == '__main__':
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'someone#example.com'
mail.Subject = 'Something important'
# to set a text-body
mail.Body = 'Lorem Ipsum'
# for completness only, the html-body:
mail.HTMLBody = '<h1>HTML Message body</h1>'
attachment = "Path to the attachment"
mail.Attachments.Add(attachment)
mail.Send()
pass

Python `mail.Send` successful but outlook email not delivered

I already referred this post. Don't mark it as duplicate please.
I wrote the below code to send an email via python
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
From = outlook.Session.Accounts[1]
mail.To = 'test#org.com'
mail.Subject = 'Test Email'
mail.HTMLBody = '<h3>This is HTML Body</h3>'
mail.Body = "This is the normal body"
mail._oleobj_.Invoke(*(64209, 0, 8, 0, From))
mail.Send() # successfully executed
The above code is successfully executed but still the email is not delivered and its been more than 15 mins. If I do it manually using outlook,am able to send and receive messages.
Can help me what is the issue here?
update - mail.display() looks like below
update - mail.Send() in outbox looks like below
update - error for 2nd mailbox
update - code
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
for acc in outlook.Session.Accounts:
if acc.DisplayName == 'user2#org.com':
print("hi")
mail.SendUsingAccount = acc.DisplayName
mail.To = 'user1#org.com'
mail.Subject = 'Test Email'
mail.HTMLBody = '<h3>This is HTML Body</h3>'
mail.Body = "This is the normal body"
mail._oleobj_.Invoke(*(64209, 0, 8, 0, mail.SendUsingAccount))
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
The difference between Outlook and your code is the synchronization with the mail server. Outlook may cache submitted items and send them when the store is synced with the mail server.
The NameSpace.SendAndReceive method initiates immediate delivery of all undelivered messages submitted in the current session, and immediate receipt of mail for all accounts in the current profile. SendAndReceive provides the programmatic equivalent to the Send/Receive All command that is available when you click Tools and then Send/Receive. All accounts defined in the current profile are used in Send/Receive All. If an online connection is required to perform the Send/Receive All, the connection is made according to user preferences.
Read more about that in the How To: Perform Send/Receive in Outlook programmatically article.
Also you may try to run the following code:
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
for acc in outlook.Session.Accounts:
if acc.DisplayName == 'user2#org.com':
print("hi")
mail.SendUsingAccount = acc.DisplayName
mail.To = 'user1#org.com'
mail.Subject = 'Test Email'
mail.HTMLBody = '<h3>This is HTML Body</h3>'
mail.Body = "This is the normal body"
mail.Send()

How to enter senders name into email body

I am trying to setup a script to send email, and I want to add the Senders Name (depending on who runs the script) to the Email Body.
Emailing works, and I'm setup on Juypter, runing Python 3, emailing from Outlook.
My code is below. The mail.SenderName is the part I want to pull the name from the Outlook account of the user. In VBA this would be equivalent to using Application.UserName
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch("outlook.application")
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = "user#somewhere.com"
mail.Subject = "Report"
#Text for email
mail.HTMLBody = "Dear All,<br><br>" \
"The latest version of the Report is attached in PDF format.<br><br>" \
"Kind Regards <br><br>" \
mail.SenderName
attachment = filename
mail.Attachments.Add(attachment)
mail.Send()
So I would want the email body to be:
Dear All,
The latest version of the Report is attached in PDF format.
Kind Regards
Bob Smith
Any help, much appreciated.
UPDATE
By combining the response from Error - Syntactical Remorse and Eugene Astafiev, with a bit more searching, I managed to resolve the issue. Thank you for the guidance.
Full code is:
outlook = win32.Dispatch("outlook.application")
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = "user#somewhere.com"
mail.Subject = "Report"
sender = outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI").CurrentUser.Name
#Text for email
mail.HTMLBody = "Dear All,<br><br>" \
"The latest version of the Report is attached in PDF format.<br><br>" \
"Kind Regards <br><br>" \
f"{sender}"
attachment = filename
mail.Attachments.Add(attachment)
mail.Send()
You can:
Use the NameSpace.CurrentUser property which returns the display name of the currently logged-on user as a Recipient object.
Sub DisplayCurrentUser()
Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
MsgBox myNameSpace.CurrentUser.Name
End Sub
If it is set, you may use the MailItem.SendUsingAccount property which returns an Account object that represents the account under which the MailItem is to be sent.
MailItem.SendUsingAccount.DisplayName

Send Outlook email using python win32com and flag as Follow-up

How can I flag a sent email to followup with a reminder date if possible using win32com python library, my code below does send the email, but does not create the followup reminder.
Code:
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
#attachment1 = "x:\\report.htm"
attachment1 = "c:\\installAgent.log"
mail.Attachments.Add(Source=attachment1)
mail.To = "obama#hotmail.com"
mail.Subject = "test"
mail.HtmlBody = '<h2>HTML Message body</h2>' #this field is optional
mail.FlagRequest = "Follow up";
mail.Display(True)
mail.send

win32 Outlook send Mail with sendkeys

I currently have a working script that finished with sending an E-Mail. However it is always necessary to manually confirm the sending by clicking on the allow button in the confirmation window.
My goal is to press the allow button automatically.
My current script:
def send_notification():
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'xxx#xx.com'
mail.Subject = 'xxx'
mail.HTMLBody = body_all
mail.send
Any idea how I can confirm the window in the code?
I also tried to use mail.Display instead of mail.send, but both will stop the code waiting to confirm the window before perfoming code that eventually would follow (like sendkeys or similar).
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards
Richard
I found the solution.
def send_notification():
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
shell = win32.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'xx#xx.com'
mail.Subject = 'xx'
mail.HTMLBody = body_all
mail.Display()
shell.AppActivate("Outlook")
sleep(1)
shell.SendKeys("%s", 0)

How do I generate and open an Outlook email with Python (but do not send)

I have a script that automatically creates and sends emails sends emails using the simple function below:
def Emailer(text, subject, recipient):
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = recipient
mail.Subject = subject
mail.HtmlBody = text
mail.send
But how do I open this email in an Outlook window so that it can be manually edited and sent?
Ideally, I'd like something like this:
def __Emailer(text, subject, recipient, auto=True):
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = recipient
mail.Subject = subject
mail.HtmlBody = text
if auto:
mail.send
else:
mail.open # or whatever the correct code is
Call mail.Display(True) instead of mail.send.
tldr: Use mail.Display(False) instead of mail.Display(True)
mail.Display(False) will still display the window.
If you use mail.Display(True) the scripts stops until the window is closed. So use mail.Display(False) this will open the window and your python script will move on to the next command. It is also useful to know that you can use mail.save() to save as draft in the draft folder.

I like the solution :) But I want to add some infos:
Using the solution, it is probably the best way to add a mail input with Html format for modification.
Also add the file from the working directory...
#requirements.txt add for py 3 -> pypiwin32
def Emailer(text, subject, recipient):
import win32com.client as win32
import os
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = recipient
mail.Subject = subject
mail.HtmlBody = text
###
attachment1 = os.getcwd() +"\\file.ini"
mail.Attachments.Add(attachment1)
###
mail.Display(True)
MailSubject= "Auto test mail"
MailInput="""
#html code here
"""
MailAdress="person1#gmail.com;person2#corp1.com"
Emailer(MailInput, MailSubject, MailAdress ) #that open a new outlook mail even outlook closed.
Here is another option with saving the mail on disk first:
import webbrowser
mail.SaveAs(Path=save_path)
webbrowser.open(save_path)
This way the mail opens maximized.
