Getting error while sending Outlook email using Python

Question

Here is the code which I found in internet and modified according to my need:

outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'W57007'
mail.Subject = 'Message subject'
mail.Body = 'Message body'
mail.HTMLBody = '<h2>HTML Message body</h2>' #this field is optional

# To attach a file to the email (optional):
# attachment  = "Path to the attachment"
# mail.Attachments.Add(attachment)

mail.Send()

When this is run, I get below error:

mail.Send()

pywintypes.com_error: (-2147467260, 'Operation aborted', None, None)

Please help me mitigate this error. Any further details needed, please let me know!

The ```newMail.Send``` works without the parenthesis. Also the ```newMail.Display()``` functions well. — Koustav, Nov 20 '19 at 06:52
@DmitryStreblechenko: I commented out the newMail.Send() and added newMail.Recipients.ResolveAll(). Still the same error :( — Koustav, Nov 22 '19 at 10:50
Yes, but what does ResolveAll return? Does it raise an exception? — Dmitry Streblechenko, Nov 22 '19 at 14:52

I had the same problem. The issue was that I had deleted a directory with the pst file inside
