Send outlook email using python

Question

I want to send outlook email via python and I found below script

import win32com.client
from win32com.client import Dispatch, constants
const=win32com.client.constants
olMailItem = 0x0
obj = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")
newMail = obj.CreateItem(olMailItem)
newMail.Subject = "I AM SUBJECT!!"
newMail.BodyFormat = 2 
newMail.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>Enter the <span style='color:red'>message</span> text here.</BODY></HTML>"
newMail.To = "[email protected]"
newMail.display()
newMail.Send()

Everything works fine untill newMail.Send(), it gives this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<ipython-input-46-7e8e370e48a8>", line 1, in <module>
    newMail.Send()
File "<COMObject CreateItem>", line 2, in Send
com_error: (-2147467260, 'Operation aborted', None, None)

Try the solutions mentioned at stackoverflow.com/questions/59365331/… or stackoverflow.com/questions/26807942/…. Neither has an accepted answer, but at least it'll give you something to try (which is a great thing to do before asking on SO). — manny

You need to either display the message, or send it, but not both - your code displays the message, and then immediately sends it.
