Outlook 2003 VBA to detect selected account when sending - vba

Question

Is it possible to detect which account an email is being sent via the Application_ItemSend VBA function of Outlook 2003? The accounts are POP3/SMTP on a standalone machine, and not MAPI or Exchange based.
I have tried using "Outlook Redemption" (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) but I just cannot find any property / method that will tell me which of the accounts the email is being sent through.
I don't need to be able to amend/select the account being sent from, just simply detect.

Answer 1

I have found a way of finding the account name, thanks to this link which provides the code for selecting a particular account.
Using this code as a base, I have create a simple GetAccountName function, which is doing exactly what I need it to do.
Edit: The below will only work if you're NOT using Word as the editor.
Private Function GetAccountName(ByVal Item As Outlook.MailItem) As String
Dim OLI As Outlook.Inspector
Const ID_ACCOUNTS = 31224
Dim CBP As Office.CommandBarPopup
Set OLI = Item.GetInspector
If Not OLI Is Nothing Then
Set CBP = OLI.CommandBars.FindControl(, ID_ACCOUNTS)
If Not CBP Is Nothing Then
If CBP.Controls.Count > 0 Then
GetAccountName = CBP.Controls(1).Caption
GoTo Exit_Function
End If
End If
End If
GetAccountName = ""
Exit_Function:
Set CBP = Nothing
Set OLI = Nothing
End Function

Answer 2

Here is a try:
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Msgbox(Item.SendUsingAccount.DisplayName)
End Sub
This will give you the display name of the current sending account.
If that's not enough, you can try the other properties of the Item.sendUsingAccount var.

In Outlook 2003, you need to use the RDOMail object in Redemption to access the Account property of a mail item. Here is some code that changes the SendAccount from the default account to another account in the OL Profile, for all items in the Outbox. It could be improved by coding an account selection subroutine that reads the accounts in the OL Profile and presents them as a list for the user to select from. In the code provided the new send account is hard-coded.
Sub ChangeSendAccountForAllItems()
On Error Resume Next
Dim oOutlook As Application
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim sOrigSendAccount As String
Dim sNewSendAccount As String
Dim iNumItemsInFolder As Integer
Dim iNumItemsChanged As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim rRDOSession As Redemption.RDOSession
Dim rRDOFolderOutbox As Redemption.RDOFolder
Dim rRDOMail As Redemption.RDOMail
'Create instance of Outlook
Set oOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'Create instance of Redemption
Set rRDOSession = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
rRDOSession.Logon
'Set a new Send Account (using Redemption)
'Change this to any SendAccount in your Profile
sNewSendAccount = "ThePreferredSendAccountNameInTheProfile"
Set rRDOAccount = rRDOSession.Accounts(sNewSendAccount)
Response = MsgBox("New Send Account is: " & sNewSendAccount & vbCrLf & _
vbCrLf, _
vbOK + vbInformation, "Change SendAccount for All Items")
'Get items in Outbox folder (value=4) (using Redemption)
Set rRDOFolderOutbox = rRDOSession.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderOutbox)
Set rRDOMailItems = rRDOFolderOutbox.Items
iNumItemsInFolder = rRDOFolderOutbox.Items.Count
iNumItemsChanged = 0
'For all items in the folder, loop through changing Send Account (using Redemption)
For i = 1 To iNumItemsInFolder
Set rRDOItem = rRDOMailItems.Item(i)
rRDOItem.Account = rRDOAccount
rRDOItem.Save
iNumItemsChanged = iNumItemsChanged + 1
'3 lines below for debugging only
'Response = MsgBox("Item " & iNumItemsChanged & " of " & iNumItemsInFolder & " Subject: " & vbCrLf & _
' rRDOItem.Subject & vbCrLf, _
' vbOK + vbInformation, "Change SendAccount for All Items")
Next
Response = MsgBox(iNumItemsChanged & " of " & iNumItemsInFolder & " items " & _
"had the SendAccount changed to " & sNewSendAccount, _
vbOK + vbInformation, "Change SendAccount for All Items")
Set olNS = Nothing
Set rRDOFolderOutbox = Nothing
Set rRDOMailItems = Nothing
Set rRDOItem = Nothing
Set rRDOAccount = Nothing
Set rRDOSession = Nothing
End Sub
