I need a small Windows-only Python script that automates a very specific routine inside my existing Outlook 2010 installation. Here is the exact flow I want the code to perform on an endless loop: 1. Launch Outlook 2010, jump to the Sent Items folder, select the newest message, choose Forward. 2. In the draft that opens: • Strip the “FW:” tag from the subject line. • Delete the automatic header block that appears at the top of the body when a mail is forwarded (“From: … Sent: … To: … Subject: …”). 3. Open the file C:\Users\<myUser>\Desktop\[login to view URL], grab the first 250 addresses, cut them out of the file so they are no longer present, and paste them into the BCC field of the draft. 4. Send the message. 5. Return to step 1 and repeat until the file is emptied (or keep looping indefinitely if you prefer to read it again once refilled). The job is finished when I can double-click a .py file, watch Outlook and the [login to view URL] file update exactly as described, and leave it running without manual intervention. Please build it with the pywin32 (win32com) library for Outlook control. If you need to manipulate Notepad++ you may use pywinauto or a similar GUI-automation tool, but reading and rewriting the text file directly in Python is perfectly fine. Include at least basic error handling so the script won’t crash if Outlook is already open, the Sent folder is empty, or fewer than 250 emails remain in the file. Deliverables: • The complete, well-commented .py script • A short README explaining required Python version, external libraries, and how to launch the loop Let me know if anything in the flow needs clarifying; otherwise I’m ready to test your solution right away.

Hello, automating Outlook with Python can get tricky, especially when dealing with specific actions like modifying email subjects and managing BCC fields. Ensuring that the script handles errors gracefully is also vital, particularly when interacting with external applications. I've worked on multiple automation projects using Python, including scripting for email clients and file manipulation. A recent project involved automating email outreach where I had to control Outlook and manage contacts from a text file, similar to your requirements. I also implemented error handling to ensure smooth execution, which I can bring to your project as well. These are my projects recently: - [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] For your script, I'd start by using the pywin32 library to control Outlook, ensuring we can handle the email manipulation as specified. I'd implement a loop to manage the BCC field and address extraction from the text file, with checks for potential issues like an empty folder or file. The script will be well-commented and accompanied by a README for easy setup. Let me know if you have any specific questions or need further clarifications. Thanks, Denis.

For Windows Outlook automation, I would use pywin32 to hook into the COM interface, giving full control over rules, folders, and forwarding logic with no add-ins needed. The script can run silently in the background or as a scheduled task. Quick question: is the forwarding triggered by a specific sender, subject keyword, or something else? That changes the approach. Either way I can have a working script ready in 48 hours and can start today. Bid is based on the post as written. Final numbers come after a short chat. Want to jump on a quick call?
