Microsoft Outlook Create Rule Run Application/Script Python

Why creating a rule in outlook that runs a script if an email is received, when you can simply do it all from python.

Using Python to monitor outlook for all incoming emails and then execute some code if an email, with %BLAHBLAH% in the subject, is received is possible. Here is an example:

import win32com.clientimport pythoncomimport reclass Handler_Class(object):    def OnNewMailEx(self, receivedItemsIDs):        # RecrivedItemIDs is a collection of mail IDs separated by a ",".        # You know, sometimes more than 1 mail is received at the same moment.        for ID in receivedItemsIDs.split(","):            mail = outlook.Session.GetItemFromID(ID)            subject = mail.Subject            try:                # Taking all the "BLAHBLAH" which is enclosed by two "%".                 command = re.search(r"%(.*?)%", subject).group(1)                print command # Or whatever code you wish to execute.            except:                passoutlook = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents("Outlook.Application", Handler_Class)#and then an infinit loop that waits from events.pythoncom.PumpMessages()
