How do I send an email from python using outlook web access?

Question

I need to send an email in python if my job fails, however due to company polices, I am only allowed to use the Outlook Web Access. How can I connect to Outlook Web Access from python to send an email?

I can't take credit for this but I can lead you to a possible solution.

Here's the link: http://win32com.goermezer.de/content/view/227/192/ Here's the code

import win32com.client

s = win32com.client.Dispatch("Mapi.Session")
o = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
s.Logon("Outlook2003")

Msg = o.CreateItem(0)
Msg.To = "recipient@domain.com"

Msg.CC = "more email addresses here"
Msg.BCC = "more email addresses here"

Msg.Subject = "The subject of you mail"
Msg.Body = "The main body text of you mail"

attachment1 = "Path to attachment no. 1"
attachment2 = "Path to attachment no. 2"
Msg.Attachments.Add(attachment1)
Msg.Attachments.Add(attachment2)

Msg.Send()

This is cool and I have to use it. A related SO question can be found here: Python - Send HTML-formatted email via Outlook 2007/2010 and win32com

I should also mention that I am trying to send emails from mac/linux – mmmtoasted Jul 20 '16 at 17:03
Ah, I see. That's an important caveat. I'll do some digging. – Quentin Jul 21 '16 at 17:47
Are you still digging? – Nick Sep 02 '20 at 12:58
Unfortunately no, I haven't but am in a work place where it'd be reasonable to dig into this again... – Quentin Sep 03 '20 at 00:00
