Senders email using MAPI

[Blobby]

Hi peeps,

Ive written an email client using MAPI but it always uses the default mail client and i would like to be able to select from a list which email i want to sent it from. Can this be done?

I have 5 email accounts set up in outlook express and 1 is set as the default. This is the one MAPI always sends the emails from but i need to choose or hard code a different one.

Hope this will mean something to someone

Thanks very much

I did a search for mapi mail client and one of the hits was this one. Does that help?

Hi Martin, thanks for the reply, it does kind point me in the right direction altho im doing it differently to that code in the link and i cant figure out what i need to do to the way im doing it to get it to do the same.

my code is:

Private Sub CommandEmail_Click()
    'MAPISession1.UserName = EmailFrom
    'MAPISession1.Password = Password
        MAPISession1.SignOn
        MAPIMessages1.a
        If Err.Number = 0 Then
            For Index = 0 To UBound(Email)
                With MAPIMessages1
                        .SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
                        .Compose
                        .RecipAddress = Email(Index)
                        .ResolveName
                'For a second addressee add:
                ' .RecipIndex = 1
                ' .RecipAddress = "[email protected]"
                ' .ResolveName
                ' Might need to add:
                ' .AddressResolveUI = True
 
                    .MsgSubject = EmailSubject
                    .MsgNoteText = RichTextBox1.Text
                    '.AttachmentIndex = 0
                    '.AttachmentPosition = 0
                    '.AttachmentPathName = ""
                    .Send
                End With
            Next
        End If
        MAPISession1.SignOff
 
 
End Sub

I may have to use winsock as i cant see any properties that will allow me to change the senders details.
