[python-win32] extended MAPI error: outbox folder?

I believe you will find PROP_TYPE(tag) == PT_ERROR, indicating there was an
error fetching this specific property.  The tag value will be the specific
error code, which is a standard MAPI error.  This may give you a clue.

This is exactly why the tag is always returned with properties - even though
you think you know the tag, what it returns may be different.  For example,
a common error for very large properties is MAPI_E_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY,
indicating that you need to fetch the value some other way.  I doubt this is
the error code for the EID though!
