Unfortunately, Python can not do this. The MAPI support allows us to _use_
|
|
MAPI objects, whereas implementing an Address Book provider requires you to
|
|
implement them.
|
|
|
|
The only way to go this route is to enhance the MAPI support to be able to
|
|
do this. This would not be trivial - I would allow myself 1 week to do
|
|
this. However, as writing an Address Book provider is very hard, and lots
|
|
of code, I personally would probably still go this route - I think the week
|
|
invested would buy me time...
|
|
|
|
Sorry I can't be more help, or give better news...
|
|
|
|
Mark.
