I'm following a video on youtube on creating a new mail with python. But I'm getting error. Am I missing something? My goal is to create a new mail and insert images from a folder into it. The first and second lines are executed successfully. How can I fix this?
My code is below:
import win32com.client as win32
from win32com.client import Dispatch
o1App = win32.Dispatch('Outlook.Application')
o1NS = o1App.GetNameSpace('MAPI')
Error:

90 except pythoncom.ole_error:
com_error: (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
