It is worth noting that MAPI only works if you have a MAPI enabled
server - basically this means you need Exchange Server or IBM Domino.

If you just have outlook express or normal outlook for internet mail,
the MAPI stuff wont work.

Although there probably is a COM object model exposed by OE, I suggest
just using the smtplib module as suggested by others...
