You have three options that I can think of. I assume you're using CDO
(ie the MAPI.Session COM object). Each of the techniques should leave
you with a working session. The Logon method has a number of other
parameters controlling, for example, whether a dialog box should be
displayed if the logon fails and so on. Consult MSDN for details: it's
quite lucid on the subject.
1) Hardcode a profile name with the options you need and pass it in:
<code>
import win32com.client
session = win32com.client.Dispatch ("MAPI.Session")
session.Logon (ProfileName="Tim Golden")
# obviously replace my name by the
# display name of your profile, the
# one that appears in the dialog box
</code>
2) If you don't have that much control, find the user's default
profile and use that:
<code>
import win32com.client
import _winreg
reg1 = "\\".join ([
"Software",
"Microsoft",
"Windows NT",
"CurrentVersion",
"Windows Messaging Subsystem",
"Profiles"
])
reg2 = "\\".join ([
"Software",
"Microsoft",
"Windows Messaging Subsystem",
"Profiles"
])
try:
key = _winreg.OpenKey (_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, reg1)
except:
try:
key = OpenKey (_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, reg2)
except:
key = None
if key:
try:
default_profile, should_be_string = \
_winreg.QueryValueEx (key, "DefaultProfile")
except:
default_profile = ""
session = win32com.client.Dispatch ("MAPI.Session")
session.Logon (ProfileName=default_profile)
</code>
3) One other option, with limitations, is to construct a
profile info string on the fly, and pass that to the
logon method:
<code>
import win32com.client
EXCHANGE_SERVER = "xyz"
MAILBOX_NAME = "tim.golden"
#
# Obviously replace the server and
# mailbox names to suit.
#
session = win32com.client.Dispatch ("MAPI.Session")
session.Logon ("%s\n%s" % (EXCHANGE_SERVER, MAILBOX_NAME))
</code>
