title: Sending emails from outlook using python
body: <p>I am trying to send meeting invites from outlook using python. I also want to reflect that in the outlook calendar of the receiver. I am using the following code</p>
  
  <pre><code>import win32com.client as win32
  outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
  def sendRecurringMeeting():    
    appt = outlook.CreateItem(1) # AppointmentItem
    appt.Start = "2018-11-14 15:30" # yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm
    appt.Subject = "Important"
    appt.Duration = 60 # In minutes (60 Minutes)
    appt.Location = "Floor 5"
    appt.MeetingStatus = 1 # 1 - olMeeting; Changing the appointment to meeting. Only after changing the meeting status recipients can be added
    appt.Recipients.Add("mabc@abc.com") # Don't end ; as delimiter
    appt.Recipients.Add("xyz@xyz.com")
    appt.ReminderSet = True
    appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15
    # Set Pattern, to recur every day, for the next 5 days
    pattern = appt.GetRecurrencePattern()
    pattern.RecurrenceType = 0
    pattern.Occurrences = "1"
    appt.Save()
    appt.Send()
  sendRecurringMeeting()
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here I am trying to send meeting invites from outlook with Python. Generally when we send a meeting invite, It starts showing in their calendar that you have a meeting today at the mentioned time. By using the above code, I am able to send a meeting invite but it is not showing in their calendar i.e it is not giving reminders.</p>
