Are you looking for unread messages? Use MAPIFolder.Items.Restrict("[Unread] = true") to retrieve Items collection with the restriction applied.

How to save MS Outlook attachments from specific sender and date using Python

I am a bit new to coding and I am trying to understand how to get Python to save MS Outlook attachments from a specific sender. I currently receive the same email from the same person each day regarding data that I need to save to a specific folder. Below are the requirements I am trying to meet:
I want to open MS Outlook and search for specific sender
I want to make sure that the email that I am opening from the specific sender is the most current date
I want to save all attached files from this sender to a specific folder on my desktop
I have seen some posts on using win32com.client but have not had much luck getting it to work with MS Outlook. I will attach some code I have tried below. I appreciate any feedback!
import win32com.client
outlook=win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox=outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages=inbox.Items
for message in messages:
attachments = message.attachments
for attachment in attachments:
pass

You almost got it, add filter to the sender email address
import win32com.client
Outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
olNs = Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Inbox = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(6)
Filter = "[SenderEmailAddress] = '0m3r#email.com'"
Items = Inbox.Items.Restrict(Filter)
Item = Items.GetFirst()
for attachment in Item.Attachments:
print(attachment.FileName)
attachment.SaveAsFile(r"C:\path\to\my\folder\Attachment.xlsx")
Python 3.8 on windows

def saveAttachments(email:object):
for attachedFile in email.Attachments: #iterate over the attachments
try:
filename = attachedFile.FileName
attachedFile.SaveAsFile("C:\\EmailAttachmentDump\\"+filename) #Filepath must exist already
except Exception as e:
print(e)
for mailItem in inbox.Items:
#Here you just need to bould your own conditions
if mailItem.Sender == "x" or mailItem.SenderName == "y":
saveAttachments(mailItem)
The actual conditions you can change to your liking. I would recommend referring to the Object model for Outlook MailItem objects: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/vba/api/outlook.mailitem
Specifically its Properties

Read outlook 365 email using python and get sender email (exchange or SMTP)

I have a python script to read emails from the inbox folder in outlook, and retrive the email id of the sender.
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch(
"Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
print("Reading Mails")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages = inbox.Items
for msg in messages:
print(msg.SenderEmailAddress)
prints '/o=ExchangeLabs/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBONPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=80cf94566sdfhve819ddaede72dc842-Sender Name'
instead of a email ID that the script can work on.

The printed statement is actually a Exchange address. This returned when the email is received from within a company. The best way to handle this is to identify if the SenderEmailType is Exchange.
if (msg.SenderEmailType = "EX"):
print(msg.Sender.GetExchangeUser().PrimarySmtpAddress)
else #email type SMTP
print(msg.SenderEmailAddress)

Check whether the email is a reply or response with Python win32com

I am using Python win32com to parse email from outlook . I am able to fetch email from the outlook folder , but I not able to verify whether the email is a reply or response or a forwarded message , I need to check whether the email reiceved is the reply of the previous mail (if yes then find the original mail) or email is the forwarded message. I am using following code to fetch emails from outlook.
import win32com.client
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox=outlook.Folders['xyz#xyz.com'].Folders['Inbox'].Folders['abc']
messagesReach = inbox.Items
for message in messagesReach:
if message.Unread==True:
print(message.body)

Hi the header is ConversationID and can be used as message.ConversationID
refer https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.outlook.mailitem_properties.aspx

You could try to read the first three characters of the subject, and determine if it has the "Re:"-prefix and therefore is a reply. This should be the case most times.
import win32com.client
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.Folders["xyz#xyz.com"].Folders["Inbox"].Folders["abc"]
messagesReach = inbox.Items
for message in messagesReach:
if message.Unread == True:
if message.Subject[:3] == "Re:":
print(message.body)

Python Outlook headers

I got a script to extract Gmailheaders. There is a lot of information to extract.
When I try to extract data from outlook it feels like im getting a small part.
The script I currently got is:
import win32com.client
import re
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages = inbox.Items
message = messages.GetFirst()
rec_time = message.CreationTime
body_content = message.body
while message:
To = message.To
Recipients = message.Recipients
Sender = message.Sender
address = message.Sender.Address
cc = message.CC
Importance = message.Importance
LastModificationTime = message.LastModificationTime
It prints the following fields:
print message.subject
print message.CreationTime
print To
print Sender
print address
print cc
print Importance
print LastModificationTime
Is there just a limit amount of Outlook headers you can extract or?
I've tryed to look on sources like:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/VBA/Outlook-VBA/articles/mailitem-object-outlook
I am missing important information like sender IP-adresses. Is there anyway of extracting more information without using a 3partytool?
Thanks!
Edit:
Works:
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
messages = inbox.Items
for message in messages:
msg = message.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001F")

To see all MIME headers, read the PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS MAPI property (DASL name http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001F) using MailItem.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty.
You can see that property (as well as all other MAPI and OOM properties) using OutlookSpy (I am its author) - click IMessage button.
