When I create an email directly in Outlook, it gives me options to select the email account to use (the 'From' dropdown) and the address to direct replies to ('Delivery options'). I can't find any way to implement these options uning Mailitem.Send. Is it possible?

Hi there Petrol.
The Outlook.MailIte m object has various properties that pertain to who sent the email (Sender, SenderEmailAddr ess, SenderEmailType , SenderName, SendUsingAccoun t & SentOnBehalfOfN ame) which cover that area. You could also look at the ReplyRecipients collection property for whom the reply should be addressed to automatically.
Essentially, theOutlook.MailIte mobject needs to be set up with this information before you use theOutlook.MailIte m.Send()method. -

Oh, I see. I had looked up Outlook.MailIte m, but I didn't see the Properties way down at the bottom of the page! Thank you. I'll try that.Comment

If you're sending from a profile with multiple accounts, SendUsingAccoun t is usually the property you want for selecting the sender account. For replies, ReplyRecipients should work, although I've found it's worth testing because behavior can vary a bit depending on the Outlook version and account type.
