Hello I receive this email daily and trying to automate this task.
Here is an example of the email body, I'm not sure what's the format of it.
Email body:
.
My goal here is to get all the rows into a CSV file. Then I can split the text but I'm not sure how to turn it into a CSV.
import win32com.client
import pandas as pd
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6).Folders.Item("Automation")
Mail_Messages = inbox.Items
message = messages.GetLast()
body_content = mail.Body
print(body_content)
Also here is the current output I'm getting. Would it be possible to ignore the External Email warning?
You can use string functions to get a substring which starts after the chrexternaltag substring. For example, in Python you could use the Split function.

I'm trying to figure out a way to forward emails with attachments received today
from " invoice#email.com" to "Remas#email.com".
I am stuck in that line, What to put here exactly to let it know that any attachment received from invoice#email.com" today, send it to "Remas#email.com" automatically.
What to type here ?
messages = inbox.Items(????????)
My code:
import win32com.client
import time
import datetime as dt
from os import path
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages = inbox.Items
for message in messages:
NewMsg = message.Forward()
NewMsg.Body = message.Body
NewMsg.Subject = message.Subject
NewMsg.To = "Remas#email.com"
#NewMsg.Send()
Instead of iterating over all items in the Outlook folder:
for message in messages:
NewMsg = message.Forward()
You need to use the Find/FindNext or Restrict methods of the Items class. They allow getting items that correspond to your conditions and iterate over them only. You may get items recieved today by using the following search criteria:
strFilter = "%today("urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived")%"
To get items for a specific time frame (for example, several days or hours) you may combine conditions using logical operators:
'This filter uses urn:schemas:httpmail namespace
strFilter = ""urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived"" > '{datStartUTC}' AND ""urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived"" < '{datEndUTC}'"
Read more about filtering items using a date-time comparisons in the Filtering Items Using a Date-time Comparison article.
Also you may get items that has any files attached, so you don't need to iterate over all items found for a specific date range:
" "urn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment"=1 "
Read more about the Find/Find and Restrict methods in the articles that I wrote for the technical blog:
How To: Use Find and FindNext methods to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder (C#, VB.NET)
How To: Use Restrict method to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder
If you need to process multiple folders at once you may consider using the AdvancedSearch method. See Advanced search in Outlook programmatically: C#, VB.NET for more information.
Work with Items.Restrict method (Outlook) to apply a filter to the inbox.Items collection
Example
import win32com.client
import time
import datetime as dt
from os import path
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch(
"Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages = inbox.Items
today = str(dt.date.today())
filter_message = f"([ReceivedTime] > '{today} 00:00 AM') AND " \
f"([SenderEmailAddress] = 'invoice#email.com')"
for message in messages.Restrict(filter_message):
# if message has attachments
if message.Attachments.Count > 0:
NewMsg = message.Forward()
NewMsg.HTMLBody = message.HTMLBody
NewMsg.Subject = message.Subject
NewMsg.To = "Remas#email.com"
# NewMsg.Send()
NewMsg.Display()
You may also wanna check MailItem.SenderEmailType property (Outlook)
Returns a String that represents the type of entry for the email address of the sender of the Outlook item, such as 'SMTP' for Internet address, 'EX' for a Microsoft Exchange server address, etc. Read-only.

Every Monday I receive the attachments with the slightly changed subject title. Constant part of the subject title is PB Report and will have the Monday's date. For example I received email this Monday with subject PB Report - 13.12.2021, last week PB Report - 06.12.2021 and so on. I would like to implement the GetLast in this code in order to get only the newest sent report. Also, how do I tell python to search the subject which starts with PB Report and dont look at the rest of the title. I tried wildcard(*) as save_attachments('PB Report*') but did not work.
import datetime
import os
import win32com.client
path = r"C:/Users/greencolor/Desktop/Autoreport/"
today = datetime.date.today()
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages = inbox.Items
def save_attachments(subject):
for message in messages:
if message.Subject == subject:
for attachment in message.Attachments:
print(attachment.FileName)
attachment.SaveAsFile(os.path.join(path, str(attachment)))
if __name__ == "__main__":
save_attachments('PB Report - 13.12.2021')
I also have the alternative code but when i run this code i never get the result nor error. It takes.
import os
import win32com.client
path = r"C:/Users/greencolor/Desktop/Autoreport/"
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages = inbox.Items
message = messages.GetLast()
while message:
if 'PB' in message.subject and 'Report' in message.subject:
for attachment in message.Attachments:
print(attachment.FileName)
attachment.SaveAsFile(os.path.join(path, str(attachment)))
The wildcard for parameter subject wont work because parameter subject is used as string when comparing for equality in message.Subject == subject.
You could instead use string-method startswith on the message subject like message.Subject.startswith(subject_prefix)
and call your method with a common prefix like save_attachments('PB Report - ').
Furthermore use the attachment.FileName to construct the output-file path.
You could use GetLast() or Sort() with appropriate message property to filter on the newest sent report. Or you could parse the dates in message's subject and sort them accordingly. However this would deserve another question, own research and further specification and focus.
Solution
An example solution could be as follows (see comments for adjustments):
def save_attachments(subject_prefix): # changed parameter name
messages.Sort("[ReceivedTime]", True) # sort by received date: newest to oldest
for message in messages:
if message.Subject.startswith(subject_prefix): # changed test
print("saving attachments for:", message.Subject)
for attachment in message.Attachments:
print(attachment.FileName)
attachment.SaveAsFile(os.path.join(path, str(attachment.FileName))) # changed to file-name
return # exit after first matched message
Alternatively use GetLast() if you know the messages only contain desired ones, sorted by date.
message = messages.GetLast()
while message: # to test if there is a (last) message at all
# save attachment

How to go through Outlook emails in reverse order using Python
I want to save all my email messages from the inbox folder of outlook using Python. I can save the First or the last messages but couldn't understand how to get all the messages of the folder. Hence, I was trying to use a loop to iterate the code for all mails. I have tried to use the following code:
from win32com.client import Dispatch
import os
import re
os.chdir("D:\\emails")
outlook = Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
print(inbox)
messages = inbox.items
message = messages.GetLast()
name = str(message.subject)
name = re.sub('[^A-Za-z0-9]+', '', name)+'.msg'
for message in messages:
message.SaveAs(os.getcwd()+'//'+name)
This is not giving me any errors, but saving only the last mail, instead of saving all emails. Could you please help me to rectify the code. Thanks.
The problem is below
message = messages.GetLast()
name = str(message.subject)
and
message.SaveAs(os.getcwd()+'//'+name)
You calculate the name once (before the loop) and use it in the loop.
You need to calculate the name during the loop.
The full code would look something like this.... (I got this answer from balderman)
from win32com.client import Dispatch
import os
import re
os.chdir("D:\\email")
outlook = Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages = inbox.items
for message in messages:
message = messages.GetNext()
name = str(message.subject)
name = re.sub('[^A-Za-z0-9]+', '', name)+'.msg'
message.SaveAs(os.getcwd()+'//'+name)
I have a .csv attachment that is emailed to me daily. I'd like to read in this email using python and perform some modifications on it. The emails are sent to my Outlook email account.
This is what I am doing:
import win32com.client
my_outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
folder = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6) #index
for item in folder.Items
print(item.body)
However, this is for extracting data within the email, how would I read the actual attachment that is being sent? I am looking into extract-msg PyPi as well.
Any insight will be helpful.
To read the attachment, use the following..
import win32com.client
import datetime
import os
import email
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("outloook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6) # change depending on folder you wish to see
message = inbox.items
for message in inbox.Items:
if message.Unread == True # finds unread mesages
for attachment in message.Attachments:
This will show you all unread email attachments, simply complete the code with the file address you wish to save the attachments..
I am currently trying to figure out how to parse all the msg files I have stored in a specific folder and then save the body text to a dataframe but when I'm trying to extract the body of the emaill it is also extracting the emails that are attached to it. I want to extract only the body of the first email that is present in the msg file.

I had a similar requirement. Full code is here:
https://medium.com/#theamazingexposure/accessing-shared-mailbox-using-exchangelib-python-f020e71a96ab
For you purpose I think this snippet is going to work. It reads the first message with a specific subject line:
from exchangelib import Credentials, Account, FileAttachment
credentials = Credentials('First_Name.Last_Name#some_domain.com', 'Your_Password_Here')
account = Account('First_Name.Last_Name#some_domain.com', credentials=credentials, autodiscover=True)
filtered_items = account.inbox.filter(subject__contains='Your Search String Here')
print("Getting latest email from Given Search String...")
for item in account.inbox.filter(subject__contains='Your Search String Here').order_by('-datetime_received')[:1]:
print(item.subject, item.text_body.encode('UTF-8'), item.sender, item.datetime_received) #body of email is extracted using:: item.text_body.encode('UTF-8')
from exchangelib import Credentials, Account, FileAttachment
credentials = Credentials('First_Name.Last_Name#some_domain.com','Your_Password_Here')
account = Account('First_Name.Last_Name#some_domain.com', credentials=credentials, autodiscover=True)
unread_mails = account.inbox.filter(is_read=False)
# ur unread mail list
unread_mail_list = [mail for mail in unread_mails]
# get text body of the latest unread mail
mail_body = unread_mail_list[0].text_body
