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");
        }
