Well I found out that working with outlook 98 and newer through python is much
easier.  I had outlook 97 on one computer and outlook 2000 on another.  Outlook
97 was just not working right.  In researching it seemed like outlook 98
behaves better as far as the MAPI interface and declared constants.  

It's pretty easy to go through contacts or calendar or email and get that
information.  I have a couple scripts that do it.  The thing though that i
hadn't figured out how to do is make it work with different outlook versions
transparently.  Right now I have to specify the outlook version like 0.9.0.

Possibly.  I just go through the MAPI interfaces.
