Error while Logging on to outlook email account using Python inside VDI
#1
While I'm trying to logon my outlook e-mail account using python inside a VDI , I'm gettin the SOCKET error

import imaplib, email, os
user     = '[email protected]'
password = 'my_password'
imap_url = 'outlook.office365.com'

def auth(user,password,imap_url):
    con = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(imap_url)
    con.login(user,password)
    return con

con = auth(user,password,imap_url)
I'm getting the below error

Error:
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\socket.py", line 745, in getaddrinfo for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags): socket.gaierror: [Errno 11003] getaddrinfo failed
I assume that the above error is due to the firewall . Hence I added the below code to bypass the firewall using proxy

import imaplib, email, os

proxy = 'http://<username>:<password>@proxy.company.com:8080'
os.environ['http_proxy'] = proxy
os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'] = proxy
os.environ['https_proxy'] = proxy
os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY'] = proxy

user     = '[email protected]'
password = 'my_password'
imap_url = 'outlook.office365.com'

def auth(user,password,imap_url):
    con = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(imap_url)
    con.login(user,password)
    return con

con = auth(user,password,imap_url)
Now, I'm getting the below error . Can someone help me to fix this please?

Error:
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\socket.py", line 724, in create_connection raise err File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\socket.py", line 713, in create_connection sock.connect(sa) ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
