Outlook Express can be accessed through the Simple Mapi interface -
at least the version on Win98 can. I have a program that reads
and deletes messages from the new mail folder. So I would imaging
mail can be also sent through Outlook Express using Simple Mapi,
but I have not tried it. I have also not tried using Simple Mapi
under Python, only VC++. But a quick test shows I can access
MAPI32.DLL use the ctypes package:
import ctypes
mapi = ctypes.windll.mapi32
MAPILogon = mapi.MAPILogon
...
It is messy though.
