How to read email in dataiku?

First of all Outlook it’s an email client, not a server. So you need to target the server which is usually Microsoft Exchange but it will depend on your company. Dataiku doesn’t have a built-in capability to read emails from Exchange.

chatGPT answer:

Use the Microsoft Graph API. Exchange Online no longer supports new apps using legacy EWS, and Graph provides the simplest, supported path.

1. Register an Azure AD app

1. Go to Azure Portal → Azure Active Directory → App registrations → New registration.
2. Add a redirect URI if you plan to use interactive authentication.
3. Under API permissions:
   
   • Add Microsoft Graph → Delegated: Mail.Read (or Mail.ReadWrite).
   • Or Application permission Mail.Read if you want unattended server-side access.
4. 
   
5. Grant admin consent.
   

2. Authenticate

Use MSAL for Python.

Delegated (user sign-in)

from msal import PublicClientApplication
import requests

client_id = "<APP_ID>"

tenant_id = "<TENANT_ID>"

scopes = ["https://graph.microsoft.com/Mail.Read"]

app = PublicClientApplication(client_id, authority=f"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}")

result = app.acquire_token_interactive(scopes=scopes)

access_token = result["access_token"]

Application (daemon) authentication

from msal import ConfidentialClientApplication

client_id = "<APP_ID>"

client_secret = "<CLIENT_SECRET>"

tenant_id = "<TENANT_ID>"

scopes = ["https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"]
app = ConfidentialClientApplication(

    client_id,

    client_credential=client_secret,

    authority=f"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}"

)

token = app.acquire_token_for_client(scopes=scopes)

access_token = token["access_token"]

3. Read mail with Microsoft Graph

import requests

headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"}

# Get top 10 messages

resp = requests.get(    "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$top=10",

    headers=headers

)

messages = resp.json()["value"]

for m in messages:

    print(m["subject"], m["sender"]["emailAddress"]["address"])

4. Application permissions (if reading another mailbox)

Use:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<user@domain .com>/messages

Alternative: EWS (not recommended, legacy)

Python library: exchangelib. Works only if EWS still enabled in your tenant.

from exchangelib import Account, Credentials, Configuration, DELEGATE

creds = Credentials("user@domain .com", "password")

config = Configuration(server="outlook.office365.com", credentials=creds)

account = Account("user@domain .com", config=config, autodiscover=False, access_type=DELEGATE)

for item in account.inbox.all()[:10]:

    print(item.subject)
