Outlook macro question

[c mateland]

I have two email accounts in Outlook 2003. I know about the Accounts
drop list in new emails. But is it possible to create a few macros so
that I end up with two buttons where each runs a macro that starts a
new email using a specific account? One button would start a new email
using account 1 and the other button would start a new email using
account 2. If so, could someone please give me some pointers?

Thanks.

Outlook doesn't provide any direct way to change the account for an outgoing message in versions before Outlook 2003. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=889 for various workarounds that might fit your scenario.

Outlook 2007 adds a MailItem.SendUsingAccount property.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
