如何使用python获取收到的Outlook邮件的日期和时间并检查来自特定发件人的正文

Question

I am trying to achieve the following using python: get the last 24hrs outlook inbox mails from the particular sender and checking if a particular text is presented in the body of that email

below is I tried :

import sys, win32com.client, datetime
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
s = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6).Items   
# Get yesterdays date for the purpose of getting emails from this date
d = (datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta (days=1)).strftime("%d-%m-%y")
# get the email/s
msg = s.GetLast()
# Loop through emails
while msg:
    # Get email date 
    date = msg.SentOn.strftime("%d-%m-%y")
    # Set the critera for whats wanted                       
    if (d == date) and ("MAINTENANCE" in msg.body) and ("Upgrade" in msg.Subject) and msg.Sender == "aa@bb.com" :
        print("Date : ", date) 
    msg = s.GetPrevious() 

error :

date = msg.SentOn.strftime("%d-%m-%y") File "C:\\Users\\1024983\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python37\\lib\\site-packages\\win32com\\client\\dynamic.py", line 527, in getattr raise AttributeError("%s.%s" % (self. username , attr)) AttributeError: GetPrevious.SentOn

and notsure what is the error in the checking line

if (d == date) and ("MAINTENANCE" in msg.body) and ("Upgrade" in msg.Subject) and msg.Sender == "aa@bb.com" :

Answer 1

Firstly, never loop through all item in a folder - you wouldn't use a SELECT statement in SQL without a WHERE clause, would you? Always use Items.Find/FindNext or Items.Restrict .

Secondly, Sender is not a scalar (string) property - it returns an object ( AddressEntry ), so what you want is MailItem.Sender.Address (after checking that MailItem.Sender is no null).

Thirdly, besides MailItem objects in your Inbox folder, you can also have other items, such as MeetingItem and ReportItem whcih may not expose all the properties you are accessing (such as Sender ) . If you only want MailItem objects, check that the Class property (exposed by all OOM objects) == 43 ( OlObjectClass.olMail ).
