Why is OL not keeping the correct sender account?
 

Hello,

I like to manipulate a mail before sending. But after modifying
(subject, message, attachments), the e-mail gets allways sent using
the default account and not using the selected account (VB6 COM AddIn
using Redemption Objects):

To trace the problem I made a little routine to find out which sender
currently is selected for a given Mailobject:

Public Function GetMailSenderAccountName(ByRef Mailobject As Object)
Dim RDOSession As Redemption.RDOSession
Dim RDOMessage As Redemption.RDOMail

Mailobject.Save ' needed to get an EntryID
Set RDOSession = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
RDOSession.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
Set RDOMessage = RDOSession.GetMessageFromID(Mailobject.EntryID)

GetMailSenderAccountName = RDOMessage.Account.Name

End Function

Using the following code, I get allways the correct account:

Set MyItem = ConnectClass.VBInstance.Session.GetItemFromID(Item ID)
Debug.Print "Before sending: " & GetMailSenderAccountName(MyItem) -
"smtp.correct.com"
RedemptionMail.Item = MyItem ' use redemption objects here (needed?)
RedemptionMail.Send
Debug.Print "After sending: " & GetMailSenderAccountName(MyItem) -
"smtp.correct.com"

But the mail has been sent using the wrong account (default account).
The "smtp.correct.com" account is working great, if I do not use the
methods above. Same problem using OL2003 and OL2007.

What can I do to keep the selected account for sending?

Thank you,

Why is OL not keeping the correct sender account?
 

Hello,

I found a solution to this problem. I simply needed to set the Account
again to let Outlook do what I want. The following way helped me out:

Public Function SendUsingRDO(ByRef Mailobject As Object)
Dim RDOSession As Redemption.RDOSession
Dim RDOMessage As Redemption.RDOMail
Dim RDOAccount As Redemption.RDOAccount

' save the mail, in case it is not saved until now
Mailobject.Save

Set RDOSession = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
RDOSession.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
Set RDOMessage = RDOSession.GetMessageFromID(Mailobject.EntryID)

Set RDOAccount = RDOMessage.Account ' get account

If Not RDOAccount Is Nothing Then
' set the account again
RDOMessage.Account = RDOSession.Accounts(RDOAccount.Name)
RDOMessage.Save
End If
RDOMessage.Send
SendUsingRDO = True
End Function

At first I read the Account that is used (reading). Upon this, I set
this value again (writing). Now calling the .Send method forces
Outlook to use the account that has been set but ignored. Strange...
