How to choose which Outlook Account a Mailitem is sent from - reliably using SendUsingAccount

问题


Let's say you have several accounts attached to your Outlook client and want to be able to choose which one to send a mail from using VBA. What do you do? The MailItem.SendUsingAccount parameter looks the right way to do this and is recommended elsewhere like here or here or here. However, if you apply the example in the Developer Reference, setting the SendUsingAccount property to valid Accounts may be impossible. Why?

This appears to be the answer: You must Dim your MailItem as an Object and not as an Outlook.Mailitem. It appears that Outlook clients which have one or more Exchange Accounts do not reliably assign Accounts to a MailItem. But, for some strange reason, if Dim As Object is used instead, the Account can be attached to that Object. Though that Object has the Properties of a MailItem, it behaves better??? ... strange...

Note: Sending a mail on on behalf of someone else meets a slightly different requirement.

The following code demonstrates the problem and the solution in operation. If there is another solution or I am missing something please let me know.

After running the code and noting the Msgbox information, look in the Immediate Window for a summary of what is done. The printed summary is clearer than the code which has lots of Debug.Print statements. There are 3 routines. The main test routine and 2 which get Account details from your system.

(Now posted as a separate question at vacip's suggestion) When MailItems are created they have the characteristics of the default Account, such as signatures etc. which may need changing. If anyone knows a good way to create the initial MailItem with the characteristics of a chosen Account instead, avoiding a lot of copy/pastes/Assignments, please let me know.

Private Sub TestSendingAccountProblems()
'This test demonstrates the problems that occur when trying to set
' the SendingAccount of a MailItem in Outlook.
'In summary, it appears that when an Outlook client has an Exchange account attached,
' it is only possible to set the SendingAccount of a MailItem if
' THE MailItem IS CREATED AS AN OBJECT.
' A bare MailItem fails with an ERROR.
'The MailItem's SendingAccount can be set to Pop3 or Exchange, so long as the MailItem is an Object.
'It does not seem to matter whether a Pop3 or an Exchange Mailbox is active at the time.
' Choosing different mailboxes causes different signatures to be appended,(if set) but
' does not affect this SendingAccount behaviour.
'The behaviour probably is different if no Exchange account is attached - try it on your
' Outlook client if you have such a system.  Look at the listings in the Immediate Window &
' let us all know what you discover. (Cntrl-G in the VBIDE for the Immediate Window)

With Exchange accounts only, I reproduced your results. The problem could be in your code.

I can set SendUsingAccount on mailitem.

Sub sendFromEachAccount()

    Dim olAccounts As Accounts
    Dim olMsg As mailItem
    Dim i As Long

    Dim accountCount As Long
    accountCount = Session.Accounts.count

    For i = 1 To accountCount

        Set olMsg = CreateItem(olMailItem)

        Debug.Print "Account: " & i & ": " & "DisplayName: " & Session.Accounts(i).DisplayName

        With olMsg
            .SendUsingAccount = Session.Accounts.Item(i)
            .Display
        End With

    Next i

ExitRoutine:
    Set olMsg = Nothing

End Sub
