thanks Mark,
that was a very good hint.

I found this VB script:
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=43

rewritten into Python (see code below, needs some refactoring), works
great !!

Now one small question, how do I get those constants, like
constants.olFolderCalendar (=9) ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki

outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
namespace = outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
print dir(constants)
Item = outlook.CreateItem ( 1 ) #constants.olAppointmentItem ) #olMailItem)
Recip = Item.Recipients.Add ( 'Klaasen, Jan' )   # <== this is not me,
but some other !!
Recip.Resolve ()
if Recip.Resolved :
  Folder = namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder ( Recip, 9 )
#constants.olFolderCalendar )
  print Folder

  afspraken = Folder.Items
  afspraken.Sort("[Start]")
  ##afspraken.IncludeRecurrences = "True"

  #Possible columns are Subject, Location, Start, End, Recurrence
Pattern, Categories
  afspraak = afspraken.GetFirst()
  while afspraak:
      start = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp (int (afspraak.Start))
      subject = afspraak.Subject.encode("utf-8")
      print '===', start, subject
      afspraak = afspraken.GetNext()
      if start.year >2011: #nextYear:
          #avoid to loop until 2038 :-)
          break
