Trying to save an attachment from outlook via pythonCOM

I am going through my outlook mail to fetch all attachments and save them in my computer. This is my code: ``` import win32com.client import os, sys class OutlookLib: def __init__(self, settings={}): self.settings = settings # Gets all messages in outlook def get_messages(self): outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application") # This allows us to access the "folder" hierarchy accessible within # Outlook. You can see this hierarchy yourself by opening Outlook # manually and bringing up the folder menu # (which typically says "Inbox" or "Outlook Today" or something). ns = outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") all_inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(6).Items return all_inbox def get_body(self, msg): return msg.Body def get_subject(self, msg): return msg.Subject def get_sender(self, msg): return msg.SenderName def get_recipient(self, msg): return msg.To def get_attachments(self, msg): return msg.Attachments # Gets an attachment # Return true if clean # Otherwise, return false def checkAttach(fileAtt): pass # TODO something here def Main(): global attach outlook = OutlookLib() messages = outlook.get_messages() # Loop all messages msg = messages.GetFirst() while msg: #print msg.Subject if not len(msg.Attachments) is 0: attach.append((msg.Attachments, msg.Subject)) msg = messages.GetNext() for attachTuple in attach: print "Checking attachments under " + attachTuple[1] for fileAtt in attachTuple[0]: fileAtt.SaveAsFile(r"C:\Users\Lidor\Desktop\Dina\scan-mail") if checkAttach(fileAtt): print fileAtt.FileName + " was found as malicous." attach = [] if __name__ == "__main__": Main() ``` Now this is the error I get: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Lidor\Desktop\Dina\scan-mail\mailScanner.py", line 67, in <module> Main() File "C:\Users\Lidor\Desktop\Dina\scan-mail\mailScanner.py", line 60, in Main fileAtt.SaveAsFile(r"C:\Users\Lidor\Desktop") File "<COMObject <unknown>>", line 2, in SaveAsFile com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (4096, u'Microsoft Outlook', u"Cannot save the attachment. You don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation.", None, 0, -2147024891), None) ``` This is weird because I am admin and I have permissions on the pst and the output folder. I have also tried to run it in a admin CMD and still got the same error. btw if you know of a way to get the attachment into a python file object instead of saving it to my computer it will be even better. Thanks.
