葡萄牙语版本报错：

pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exceção.', (4096, 'Microsoft Outlook', 'Não é possível salvar o anexo. Você não possui a permissão adequada para executar esta operação.', None, 0, -2147024891), None)

相关代码 #

import win32com.client as client # python -m pip install --upgrade pywin32
import datetime as datetime
import pandas as pd

## Connect in outlook
outlook = client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamesPace('MAPI') # 注意：此处存在拼写错误，正确应为 GetNamespace('MAPI')
account = outlook.Folders['financeiro@manchesterinvest.com.br'] # Set the account
inbox = account.Folders['INVESTIMENTO CONTAS A PAGAR'] # Select a folder
   
## Recover the invoice
BHS_email = [message for message in inbox.Items if message.SenderEmailAddress == 'email@test.com.br' and int(pd.to_datetime(message.ReceivedTime, utc = True).strftime("%m")) == int(datetime.date.today().month)] # Only recovers the e-mail from the month (!!!! - CAN RECOVER THE EMAILS FROM THE SAME MONTH IN OTHER YEARS - !!!!)

for message in BHS_email:
    attachment = message.Attachments

    for pdf in attachment:
        pdf.SaveAsFile(str(pdf))

注意：代码中GetNamesPace('MAPI')是拼写错误，正确写法为GetNamespace('MAPI')，否则会导致Outlook连接失败。

解决方法 #

• 指定完整保存路径：仅传入文件名时，Outlook会默认保存到其内部存储路径，该路径可能无写入权限。需明确指定有读写权限的路径（如桌面、自定义文件夹）：

  import os
  # 示例：保存到用户桌面
  save_dir = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "Desktop")
  # 确保目标文件夹存在
  if not os.path.exists(save_dir):
      os.makedirs(save_dir)
  
  for message in BHS_email:
      for pdf in message.Attachments:
          save_path = os.path.join(save_dir, pdf.FileName)
          pdf.SaveAsFile(save_path)
  

• 以管理员身份运行脚本：右键点击Python脚本或运行脚本的终端，选择「以管理员身份运行」，规避系统级权限限制。

• 检查Outlook信任设置：

  1. 打开Outlook，依次进入「文件」→「选项」→「信任中心」→「信任中心设置」→「附件处理」
  2. 取消勾选「禁用所有附件的预览」（若已勾选），确保PDF附件未被系统阻止
  3. 确认Outlook未在安全模式下运行（安全模式会限制部分操作权限）

• 验证目标文件夹权限：

  1. 右键要保存附件的文件夹，选择「属性」→「安全」标签
  2. 检查当前用户是否拥有「写入」「修改」权限，缺失则点击「编辑」添加对应权限

• 修复Outlook安装：若上述方法无效，可能是Outlook组件损坏：

  1. 打开控制面板→「程序和功能」，找到Microsoft Office/Outlook
  2. 右键选择「更改」，选择「快速修复」或「联机修复」，完成后重启Outlook重试
