Monitoring an MS Exchange mailbox

[Lindstrom Greg - glinds]

I have written a script to monitor my MS Exchange mailbox for certain
messages and post information to an MS SQL Server Database. Everything
works great except that each time I run the script I am prompted by Windows
to choose the profile of the mailbox via a dialog box. I'd like to run the
script every hour, so this is not good.

Is there any way to either specify the profile or accept the default?

Thanks for any help you can send my way.

Certainly. Just pass the profile name as an argument to the function
opening the connection to exchange.

I don't know about that but I do something similar using imaplib - it
used to connect to a non-Exchange email server, I left it as it was
when we switched to Exchange and it continued to work (obviously with
IMAP enabled in Exchange).
