A simple solution for Office 365 is

from O365 import Message

html_template =     """ 
            <html>
            <head>
                <title></title>
            </head>
            <body>
                    {}
            </body>
            </html>
        """

final_html_data = html_template.format(df.to_html(index=False))

o365_auth = ('sender_username@company_email.com','Password')
m = Message(auth=o365_auth)
m.setRecipients('receiver_username@company_email.com')
m.setSubject('Weekly report')
m.setBodyHTML(final)
m.sendMessage()

Here df is a dataframe converted to an html Table, which is being injected into html_template

This is a pretty old question but there is one more solution. The current Outlook SMTP server is (as of 2022):

  • Host: smtp.office365.com
  • Port: 587 (for TLS)

Probably the easiest and cleanest solution is to use Red Mail that has these already set:

pip install redmail

Then:

from redmail import outlook

outlook.user_name = "example@hotmail.com"
outlook.password = "<MY PASSWORD>"

outlook.send(
    receivers=["you@example.com"],
    subject="An example",
    text="Hi, this is an example."
)

Red Mail supports all sorts of advanced features:
