title: Using python to access Outlook folders
body: <p>I am trying to use python to access/retrieve information from folders from Outlook. Now, I found that I can access my default inbox easily enough with something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that I need to access emails from a "Personal Folder" which I THINK is stored locally but I'm not positive. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Also, is there a database with some information on how to do other things with emails from Outlook? I am in way over my head, I do not come from much of a programming background so I am really stumbling through this project. </p>
  
  <p>Once I am able to access my personal folders, I need to search the emails/attachments for certain keywords and grab data from those emails. Any piece of information you have that may help me is very welcome! Thanks so much!</p>
