Accessing MS-Outlook Mails (MAPI) from Rapidminer

Question

Rapidminer is a nice tool to process data. Unfortunately it does not have an access node to MS-Outlook (2007) Emails. (Unless somebody can diret me to the opposite.

Therefore my question, has someone a solution available by using a Python- or R-script.

There are several snippets on how to access the MAPI from Python, but I am not clear on how to pass them as documents to Rapidminer.

Links MAPI from Python:

there is a nice Python RapidMiner Extension tool that you can download free from the RapidMiner marketplace. If you re-post in the RapidMiner user community forum , others may chime in.
