Can you pls make one video on same… Thank you in advance…..

  • Nice work. You are one of very few who made the code "real world" by touching upon attachments and multiple folder manipulation. That's what makes this video genuinely useful & makes it stand out from the sea of others.

  • Can you share the source code of python file? Will this also work for outlook365 mails?
