Python COM Outlook Question

[liam_herron]

Say I want to open a shared email inbox (named "DailyGoodEmails") that
is different from my default Outlook inbox, how do I specify this?

Currently, I would do:

s = Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
space = s.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
inbox = space.GetDefaultFolder(6)
myFolder = inbox.Folders[9] #open the folder i want


I have no idea where the "6" comes from but I want to be able to
specify "DailyGoodEmails" somewhere
and be able to iterate over the emails.

I don't know how to do this, but I found you a couple websites that
should point you in the right direction:

Hope that helps.
