Mail Merger with outlook additional accounts

[Jason]

I am using Word's Mail Merger at work. I also have multipule mailboxes set
up using the "Additional Accounts" section through Microsoft Exchange in
Outook 2007. I want to be able to send an email using Mail Merger from one
of there accounts, but it always defaults to my main Outlook email, and wont
even ask to change it. Is there a way to send emails with the additional
accounts?

For MailMerge, you have to be logged into to Outlook using the profile
you want to send from. I think the profile defines the default "Send
As", but I'd really have to check that - an Outlook person would
probably know for sure.


The alternative is if you are connected to Exchange Server and a "Send
As" or "Send As Delegate" facility has been set up for you. In that case
you may be able to do something using VBA - for example, if you use the
stuff written by Doug Robbins at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

and you have "Send As" or "Send As Delegate" permission for another user
account, then you should be able to set

objMailItem.SentOnBehalfOfName = "the Exchange user name you want to use"

And send the item. In that case, the item does not necessarily appear as
"a sent on behalf of" item. If you have "Send As" permission, it appears
as if it's from the user you specified in SentOnBehalfOfName and there
is no "on behalf of" - the same is true if you fill in the "From"

You need to set the account you want to use as the Default Account. Go to
Tools/Account Settings, select the email account you want to use and then
click "Set As Default".

MAPILab's Mailmerge toolkit add-in for Outlook
http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/mail_merge/ adds the ability to select the
account at merge time and provides additional merge to e-mail functions that
you may find useful. There is a demo available.
