I'm trying to send an e-mail through outlook. So far I've gotten it to work with the mail script at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/149461 My only problem is that when I call Resolve() and Send(), I get confirmation dialogs. I will be sending out quite a few e-mails at a time, and would rather not have the user have to click yes for every single one. Does anyone know a workaround? I know about smtplib, but I would prefer to simply make what I have work. Thanks.
Alas, I dont think that there is much you can do to prevent the confirmation dialogs with Outlook's MAPI dll. MS added them in a service pack as an anti-virus measure, so no work-around. Not all clients show these anoying dialogs though. Thunderbird definately doesn't.
There is actually a workaround. You're using Simple MAPI which has a nice easy interface. The confirmation dialogs are only for Simple MAPI. Using Extended MAPI can work around the problem but its a lot more tricky.
See the initial discussion here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/Python-win32/2160646
This code has now been included in pywin32 somehow but I can't remember where and its late. Should also be a cookbook entry. Maybe Google can help :-)
