1. I wrote code like this

   
   import win32com.client as win32
   import psutil
   import os
   import subprocess
   
   # Drafting and sending email notification to senders. You can add other senders' email in the list
   def send_notification():
   
       outlook = win32.Dispatch('Outlook.Application')
   
       mail = outlook.CreateItem(0x0)
       mail.To = 'abc@abc.com',
     #  mail.Subject = 'Sent through Python'
     #  mail.body = 'This email alert is auto generated. Please do not respond.'
     #  mail.send
   
   def open_outlook():
       try:
           subprocess.call(['C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE'])
           os.system('C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE');
       except:
           print("Outlook didn't open successfully")
   
   for item in psutil.pids():
       p = psutil.Process(item)
       if p.name() == "OUTLOOK.EXE":
           flag = 1
           break
       else:
           flag = 0
   
   if (flag == 1):
       send_notification()
   else:
       open_outlook()
       send_notification()
   

   and the error:

2. Hi,

   What if i want to change “from” of email?

   Do you know something like
   mail. from=”abc@..com” or mail.sender. None of them works for me.

   1. mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = ‘whatever@abc.com’

      Reply

   2. You have to remove the comma at the end of ‘mailTo’-line. This is leading to the error you get.
