Auto configure outgoing mail server

C

Charlie

We have a few users in the office who by the nature of
their work have a dozen plus e-amil accounts set-up, and
when they work from home they need to alter their
outgoing smtp server each time. I could create duplicate
accounts one for each set-up, but it would a lot easier
if I could have a couple of command buttons that fire
macros that automatically amend all the accounts in the
active application to the relevant smtp server. So one
could be called 'Office' and one 'Home'. Firstly is this
possible? and if so could anyone provide any useful
pointers? I have a good knowledge of VBA but not so much
in outlook.

Thanks

I would use a different approach here;
Configure two profiles; one called Home and one called Office. This will
allow you to create separate account settings. Once the profiles are
configured make them use the same pst-file to store their messages in.
