Hi Andrea,

the mapi interface could be your friend. The pywin32 extension has a 
mapi module. You will find a lot of examples in C and  VB about mapi on 
the net. There is also an excellent book 'Inside Mapi' Autors: Irving De 
la Cruz and Les Tahler, but that is not available anymore. Maybe you can 
do a 'remote lending ' from a library (don 't know how the right term in 
english, but in Germany there is a service SUBITO were you can lend many 
books from university libraries, which ships the book to you and all you 
have to do is to ship it back and pay  the shipping costs). That was  
the way  I got this book two years ago.

regards,
Jürgen
