So python, who knew it could automate a lot of crappy tasks 😎
Actually I did, but god it’s so quick and easy to implement than expected.

I have a new formed respect for python devs after my day of web crawling and ftp transfers and outlook mining 😘

    Outlook mining? Got any details? I'm looking to export some mailbox PSTs for a couple of thousand people and the only solution that won't involve trying to work around the convoluted MS processes is to give the users a guide to do it themselves.

    I had to scan through an inbox (2k emails) and pull out specific attachments by name.

    Pywin32 let me connect straight up to outlook and go through every message and save the specific attachment to file with date received.

    Looking at automating that for pain staking task I have to do on a daily basis for a couple of very specific files.
