How to Get 'Recipient' Names and emails address from Outlook using Python MAPI

Question

Just like .SenderName gives me names of the Senders which can be easily appended to a list, is their any object to do the same for the 'Recipients' of my mails.

I have tried .Recipients but once added to the list they appear as COMObjects which cannot be manipulated by Python.

All I want is a simple list of Recipient names.

Answer 1

The simplest way to do that is

Example

import win32com.client

outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.Folders["0m3r@Email.com"].Folders["Inbox"]


def get_email_address():
    for message in inbox.Items:
        print("========")
        print("Subj: " + message.Subject)
        print("Email Type: ", message.SenderEmailType)
        if message.Class == 43:
            try:
                if message.SenderEmailType == "SMTP":
                    print("Name: ", message.SenderName)
                    print("Email Address: ", message.SenderEmailAddress)
                    print("Date: ", message.ReceivedTime)
                elif message.SenderEmailType == "EX":
                    print("Name: ", message.SenderName)
                    print("Email Address: ", message.Sender.GetExchangeUser(
                                                              ).PrimarySmtpAddress)
                    print("Date: ", message.ReceivedTime)
            except Exception as e:
                print(e)
                continue


if __name__ == '__main__':
    get_email_address()
