A Python client library for Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) that provides a Django-style ORM interface to Exchange mailboxes. It supports on-premise Exchange 2007-2016 and Office365, including autodiscover and CRUD operations on calendar, mail, task, and contact items.

Use cases

• read emails from an Exchange mailbox in Python
• create calendar events on Office365 programmatically
• manage Exchange contacts and tasks via EWS
• autodiscover Exchange server settings for a user
• automate Outlook mailbox operations with Python
• search and delete inbox messages on Exchange

When to choose

• you need to interact with Microsoft Exchange or Office365 mail, calendar, contacts, or tasks from Python
• you want a high-level ORM-like API instead of raw SOAP XML
• you need autodiscover and platform-independent EWS access

When to avoid

• you use IMAP/SMTP or Microsoft Graph instead of EWS
• you need a non-Python language
• your Exchange server does not support EWS
