The following code has been suggested to me to get a handle to Outlook's
mapi session.
from win32com.client import Dispatch
from win32com.mapi import mapi
app = Dispatch('Outlook.Application')
app.GetNamespace('MAPI').Session.MAPIOBJECT
The MAPIOBJECT would then have to be cast to a IMAPISession object. How
would I do that? By calling the PyIMAPISesison constructor with MAPIOBJECT
as argument? Unfortunately I was not able to find the PyIMAPISession class
in the pywin32 namespace nor when digging through the source.

It should be something like:
from win32com.mapi import mapi
session =
app.GetNamespace('MAPI').Session.MAPIOBJECT.QueryInterface(mapi.IID_IMAPISession)
Note that a good resource for working with MAPI from pywin32 is the
spambayes project, and particularly:
https://github.com/smontanaro/spambayes/blob/master/spambayes/Outlook2000/msgstore.py
For reasons that escape me now, it does things differently - after
creating the Outlook.app object, it does:
mapi.MAPIInitialize(None)
logonFlags = (mapi.MAPI_NO_MAIL |
mapi.MAPI_EXTENDED |
mapi.MAPI_USE_DEFAULT)
self.session = mapi.MAPILogonEx(0, None, None, logonFlags)
to get the session. Note however that that code was written against
Office 2000, so some things - especially work-arounds etc - may well
have changed
HTH,
Mark
