win32com Python: Connecting to one of multiple mailboxes

I have 2 mailboxes (abc@er.com and def@er.com) in outlook and need to connect to a specific mailbox. By default, Python's win32com.client is connecting to the wrong one.

Is there a parameter to specify which mailbox to connect to? My code is:

outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI") inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6) messages = inbox.Items

I have tried very hard to find which parameters allow me to connect to a specific mailbox but did not see anything. Thanks for your help.

Solution

  • You should be able to enumerate the mailboxes with:

    for folder in outlook.Folders: 
    print(folder.Name)
