Send email using dynamic sender names

M

Maxi

I just have one account configured in my outlook. Is it possible to
send emails by different sender names (which should look like different
senders are sending emails)? I don't want to add any more accounts.
Receipents replying to these emails should come to the main configured
inbox. Can this be done using outlook vba or anything else?

You need an account for each sender mail address you want recipients to see.

I understand an account for each sender is required due to security
issues. But my problem is little different.

Whenever I hit send mail button a vba macro should run which should ask
for a name, when the user inputs a name, it should go and change the
sender's name and send that email and restore the old name back. By
doing this, the recepient will think that different people are sending
emails but replies to these emails will land up in one common mailbox

Using multiple accounts and will accomplish the same thing, except for
asking you. You would simply have to think two seconds to choose the
correct account before clicking Send. Incoming mail would still all show up
in a common mailbox, since that's the way multiple accounts (POP and
Exchange) have always worked. I'd always rather use built-in capability
than add another factor like special-purpose code, if I had a choice.

You mean replicating the same account x number of times with different
sender names? If yes, I didn't know that was possible.

Exactly what I mean. Don't confuse folders with accounts. There's some
correlation between folder sets and accounts, but it's not one-to-one
