Hi,

Enable MSAA or UI Automation for Outlook (see the "Using Microsoft Active Accessibility" and "Using Microsoft UI Automation Technology" help topics) - this will allow you to access more objects, properties, and methods in Outlook's process.

If this doesn't help, you'll need to use coordinate-based clicks.

Hi

I am writing almost same kind of code to access outlook emails. But where I declare the outlook ole object, test complete fails as server execution failed. Its the very initial step in my script

I am using python

outlookapp = Sys.OleObject["Outlook.Application"]

Any help?

  You can simply use one of the native python libraries to have a direct access to your email account (e.g. imaplib)

  I found that I cannot make the connection if outlook is alreeady running. So I added the following before making the connection.
  
      var OutLookProcess = Sys.WaitProcess("outlook",2000);
      if(OutLookProcess.Exists)
      {
        OutLookProcess.Terminate();
        aqUtils.Delay(2000);//Give time to close Outlook
      }
      else
      {
        Log.Event("Outlook does not appear to be running");
      }
