  • Article
Outlook Developer Reference

Returns or sets an Account object that represents the account under which the MailItem is to be sent. Read/write.

Version Information
 Version Added:  Outlook 2007

Syntax

expression.SendUsingAccount

expression   An expression that returns a MailItem object.

Remarks

The SendUsingAccount property can be used to specify the account that should be used to send the MailItem when the Send method is called. This property returns Null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the account specified for the MailItem no longer exists.

Example

The following code sample in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications enumerates the Accounts collection to find a Pop3 account. If the account is found, then a message is created programmatically and the SendUsingAccount property is assigned to the Pop3 account. Note that you must assign the SendUsingAccount property before you call the Send method.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub SendUsingAccount()
    Dim oAccount As Outlook.account
    For Each oAccount In Application.Session.Accounts
        If oAccount.AccountType = olPop3 Then
            Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
            Set oMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
            oMail.Subject = "Sent using POP3 Account"
            oMail.Recipients.Add ("someone@example.com")
            oMail.Recipients.ResolveAll
            oMail.SendUsingAccount = oAccount
            oMail.Send
        End If
    Next
End Sub
