[python-win32] pywintypes.com_error: (-2147467259, 'Unspecified error', None, None)

[Blair, Colin S]

Thank for the response.

I have tried using the static proxy. The same error occurs. 

I have also tried adding  DISP_E_EXCEPTION to the ERRORS_BAD_CONTEXT list in dynamic.py

Same result.

R,

That's 0x80004005, which for MAPI is MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED.  Very generic.

Have you run gentypes.py on Outlook?  Perhaps you should try to generate
a static proxy:
    ol = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application")
