[python-win32] com_error: Object is not connected to server

[Michael Katz-Hyman]

I get the following error when trying to thread an object that uses a COM
connection to outlook.  I tried re-Dispatching the object before accessing
it again but to now avail, ideas?

error:

Exception in thread Thread-4:
