I have been looking for a way to save all emails in the outlook of a particular day or from the start of the day to the time I run my program to my local folder using python. Is there any way we can do this?

Something along these lines, I believe, would be an excellent starting point:

import win32com.client

outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
msg = outlook.OpenSharedItem(r"C:\test_msg.msg")

print msg.SenderName
print msg.SenderEmailAddress
print msg.SentOn
print msg.To
print msg.CC
print msg.BCC
print msg.Subject
print msg.Body

count_attachments = msg.Attachments.Count
if count_attachments > 0:
    for item in range(count_attachments):
        print msg.Attachments.Item(item + 1).Filename

del outlook, msg

snippet of code comes from another thread see below

Refer to Brent Edwards's answer for more details.

Note: If you won't use Outlook client you could do as follow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49681576/9814037

  • Hey, Appreciate the answer. But instead of writing the contents, is there a way we can just save the email as it is? Consider it as if we are copying an email from the inbox to our local machine. – Rishab S Nov 25 '21 at 09:06
  • With Python, you can save the content of the body (for instance) to a file such as a csv or whatever you want? Refer to this quick introduction: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_file_write.asp – Simon Provost Nov 25 '21 at 09:09
  • @RishabS Did it work ? If so could you accept the answer? – Simon Provost Nov 26 '21 at 12:19
