Change Outgoing Mail Server

[Charlie]

We have a few users in the office who by the nature of
their work have a dozen plus e-amil accounts set-up, and
when they work from home they need to alter their
outgoing smtp server each time. I could create duplicate
accounts one for each set-up, but it would a lot easier
if I could have a couple of command buttons that fire
macros that automatically amend all the accounts in the
active application to the relevant smtp server. So one
could be called 'Office' and one 'Home'. Firstly is this
possible? and if so could anyone provide any useful
pointers? I have a good knowledge of VBA but not so much
in outlook.

Thanks

Charlie

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are trying to do here. Are you
looking to automate the setup of new e-mail accounts in Outlook? Or are you
trying to programmatically change which account an e-mail is being sent
through? Also, why do your users change the SMTP server constantly? That's
the purpose of having multiple e-mail accounts, each with their own e-mail
address and server settings. You can also choose which account to send with
right within an open e-mail message.
