I have got past your immediate stumbling-block, just to hit another.

It seems very likely that this is a GUID encoded as a binary buffer (being
16 bytes (128 bits) long):

Adding:

  serviceUID = pythoncom.MakeIID(serviceUID, 1)
  print "now is", serviceUID

Results in:

now is {607D544A-A7BF-412D-8EC7-E376FF96572C}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\temp\make_profile.py", line 41, in ?
    serviceAdmin.ConfigureMsgService(serviceUID, 0, 0, propsTuple) # <- !!!
FAILS HERE !!!
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221233, 'OLE error 0x8004010f', None, None)


0x8004010f is MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND.  This is as far as I got.

Mark.
