Below lines are used to retrieve a given person's (by email address) line manager's email address:
import win32com.client
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
gal = outlook.Session.GetGlobalAddressList()
entries = gal.AddressEntries
chk_email = ['david@company.com']
for chk in chk_email:
for e in entries:
user = e.GetExchangeUser()
if user is not None and chk == user.PrimarySmtpAddress.lower():
print (user.GetDirectReports())
# It prints:
# <win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Outlook 16.0 Object Library.AddressEntries instance at 0x2115795695424>
# then, added lines but returned nothing
for recipient in user.GetDirectReports():
print (recipient) # returns nothing
recipient.Resolve()
print (recipient.AddressEntry()) # returns nothing
print (recipient.AddressEntry.Address) # returns nothing
print (recipient.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser.PrimarySmtpAddress()) # returns nothing
Above case David has a line manager.
I also tried another one, Nancy, with line manager also subordinates. In this line, it shows error:
recipient.Resolve()
AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Outlook 16.0 Object Library.AddressEntry instance at 0x2242384456894>' object has no attribute 'Resolve'
How can I get/interpret the line manager's email address in 'xxxx@xxxx.com' form?
I also tried user.GetExchangeUserManager()
and it returns '<win32com.gen_py.None.ExchangeUser>'.
Of course - you get back a COM object of type AddressEntries
. You need to loop through its entries.
And never loop through all entries in GAL - call Namespace.CreateRecipient
/ Recipient.Resolve
, then use Recipient.AddressEntry
.
