Set MailItem.Sender Property

[Joshua Ellul]

Hi There,

How can I set the MailItem Sender property of a MalItem being created by my
application. Perhaps using Redemption but how?

First of all, if you looked in the object browser, you'd see that the MailItem object has no Sender property.

Second, Outlook doesn't provide any direct way to change the account or sender for an outgoing message. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=889 for various workarounds that might fit your scenario and mail environment.

See RDOMail.Sender property -
http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/rdo/RDOMail.htm#properties.
Note that setting it under EX will prevent you from sending the message
unless you have an explicit permission to send on behalf of the given user.
The same applies to the SentOnbehalfOfName property.
See http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/faq.htm#14 for a workaround.
