Python and Outlook - Marking message thread as 'read'

My company uses JIRA to track issues, and is set up to send an e-mail to all watchers and tagged users whenever an update is done on the issue. We also have some automation in place that will adjust fields on the issue (like sprint number) whenever it gets closed (this'll also send an e-mail). I also have a filter within Outlook that'll put any e-mail from JIRA into a separate subfolder 'JIRA'.

I often receive e-mails on issues that have been closed. I'm trying to write a small Python script that'll mark all these e-mails as read if the JIRA issue has been closed already. The basic idea is I can run this script once a week or so to clean up my mailbox.

I'm using the pywin32 and jira packages to do this, but I can't figure out how to change a message status. The fact that documentation is scarce doesn't help...

What I have:

import re
import textwrap

from jira import JIRA
import pandas as pd
import win32com.client

jira = JIRA("<JIRA URL>", None, ("<USER>", "<JIRA API key>"))
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
wrapper = textwrap.TextWrapper(initial_indent="", width=100, subsequent_indent=" " * 4)
days_back = 10
start_time = pd.to_datetime("now").floor("D") - pd.to_timedelta(days_back, unit="D")
for message in outlook.getDefaultFolder(6).Folders.Item("JIRA").Items.Restrict(f"[ReceivedTime] >= '{start_time.strftime('%d/%m/%Y %H:%M %p')}'"):
    if message.Unread:
        jira_issue = re.search("\[JIRA\] \([A-Z0-9-]+\)", str(message)).group().split()[1][1:-1]
        print(message, jira_issue)
        print(message.body)
        issue = jira.issue(jira_issue)
        status = issue.fields.status
        if status in ("Done", "Checked"):
            message.Unread = False

as noted in this SO issue. This doesn't seem to mark any e-mail as read.

Is this something I can even do in Python? If so, how? If not, what could be an alternative approach?

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
