    I am writing a mail extractor program to download mail from outlook via MAPI. The script works fine as a console program and as an NT service if outlook is not running.
If outlook process is running then the service times out with the following exception:


  File "win32comclient__init__.pyc", line 95, in Dispatch
  File "win32comclientdynamic.pyc", line 91, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
  File "win32comclientdynamic.pyc", line 79, in _GetGoodDispatch

com_error: (-2146959355, 'Server execution failed', None, None)

at the line: outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")

I see that there is a new OUTLOOK.EXE process created as well. Looks like I need to get a handle to the executing process and not spawn a new one. 


Anybody has faced this before and provide some pointers?

Thanks for your help.
