Macro to create new email message with different account as sender

B

Brian Beck

I'm running Outlook 2003 with SP2 installed.

In my division, I have my own personal email account, but also am tasked
with managing 2 additional mailboxes. If I go into Tools-->E-mail Accounts
and view my existing email accounts, I can see that there is one entry for
Microsoft Exchange Server. If I look at the settings for Microsoft Exchange
Server, click on the More Settings button and then look at the Advanced Tab,
I see that it is set to open the 2 additional mailboxes that I am tasked
with, Security and Calendar.

I can access those 2 mailboxes from within Outlook, in addition to my
personal mailbox, and if I reply to an email that was sent to either the
Security or Calendar mailboxes, it will show in the From field that it came
from the Security or Calendar email address respectively. However, I know
of no way for me to create a new email message and have it show the From:
field as anything but my own personal email address.

I now am tasked with sending reminder emails out to numerous individuals who
have failed to submit various kinds of documentation...however, these emails
need to come from the Security mailbox, not my own personal mailbox. I know
that I can simply open an email that is in the security mailbox, choose to
reply to it, and then simply replace the To: and Subject: fields with
whatever I want to create an email that will show the Security email address
in the From: field...but I'm wondering if there isn't either some easier way
to do that, or at least some macro I can write that will allow me to get to
a new email message with a blank To: field, a custom Subject: field and,
most importantly, the Security address showing in the From: field.

Any ideas?
