title: Trying to get emails from the past 3 days from outlook, it almost works, but it's skipping emails, any idea why? [code inside]
body: <p>So here's the code ...</p>
  
  <pre><code>import win32com.client, datetime

                                      # the inbox. Can change that number to reference
                                      # any other folder

  <p>So it should return the name of sender and date recieved of all emails within the past 3 days, but instead, it returns some of the emails from the 26th (today) and then all of the emails from the 23rd (3 days ago), with none from in between. I have no idea what's causing it to do this. Any suggestions?</p>
