Here's an absolutely Noddy example to get you going:
<code>
#
# inbox.py
# test case for access to Exchange; run through the
# hard-coded user's inbox and list the subjects of each email.
#
import win32com.client
session = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch ("MAPI.Session")
session.Logon ()
inbox = session.Inbox
messages = inbox.Messages
message = messages.GetFirst ()
while message:
print "subject: ", message.Subject
message = messages.GetNext ()
session.Logoff ()
</code>
and, aside from the MSDN docs on MAPI.Session, the keyword
you're looking for is CDO. Here's a couple of useful sites:
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=20
http://www.cdolive.com/default.htm
BTW, this is all relatively old stuff (although it still works
fine on my XP-Outlook2003-Exchangewhatever setup). There may
well be some "preferred" MSActiveNETMailProvider [*] technique
which is more future-proofed.
If you need more info feel to come back and ask.

[*] Invented, obviously; don't go searching for it!
