I have found the following code which makes excellent use of outlook to send emails without warnings etc.
I have set this up and it is working perfectly, the only thing I cannot seem to get right is how to set which mailbox to send emails from!
I have two mailboxes in Outlook 2007 one personal, one shared.
The personal one is the default and all emails generated with the above code are sent from that account.
How/where can I change the mailbox?
Any help would be great as I'm a little stuck! :)
PS Not sure if it makes any difference but Outlook is running as exchange.
Code:
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim Ns As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim Folder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set Ns = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Folder = Ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set Items = Folder.Items
