Hi,

I hope someone can help me.
Im using Outlook 2007 and I have one mail exchange account with
several mailboxes.
Each mailbox has its own signature.
I have created the different signatures and I would like for Outlook
when creating a new email or replying to one to automatically detect
which mailbox it is and add to the email the predefined signature.

How can this be done?
Thanks.

You need to develop a method to return a signature name based on
Activeexplorer.CurrentFolder.FolderPath

Then you need to open the file with the signature, read it and insert it
into the message (which needs a different treatment for HTML messages
and text-only messages); all driven by a event triggers (Reply,
ReplyAll, Forward, NewInspector, <inspector>.Activate and possibly
others).

Alternatively, the task might be simplified with
ActiveInspector.CommandBars("Menu Bar") _
.Controls("Insert") _
.Controls("Signature") _
.Controls(folderspecificAddress).Execute
once you worked out which signature name belongs to which folder. This
method depends of course on the local language and on the presence of
those menu items.
 
Michael,

Thank you for the help.
Unfortunately its not much help for me. Although I know a bit of Vba,
I am not familiar with its integration with Outlook.

Would you be kind to have some kind of working SUB that I could use?
Once I see how it works in Outlook I might be able to figure it out.

Thanks again.

The following code works here:

Sub InsertFolderSignature()

Dim strFolder As String

strFolder = ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.FolderPath
strFolder = Mid(strFolder, 3, InStr(3, strFolder, "\") - 3)
ActiveInspector.CommandBars("Menu Bar"). _
Controls("Insert"). _
Controls("Signature"). _
Controls(strFolder).Execute
End Sub

The assumption is that there is a signature named exactly as the folder
name; there is no check that this is true nor is there any error
trapping if it isn't. Creating a menu item or a command bar button to
run the macro is left as an exercise for the reader.
