[Tutor] This will run on Outlook but not Outlook Express

I don't think Outlook express uses MAPI.
MAPI is a strictly Microsoft protocol and only used in Outlook 
and a few other clients that try to talk to Exchange servers.

Outlook Express is a much more conventional mailtool 
that talks POP/SMTP (and maybe IMAP?)

Trying to use a COM object model for that will be extemely difficult.
I'd look at using the standard email tools with Python since both 
Outlook and OE talk standard internet mail protocols.
