Where to find account settings?

[Kai Huener]

Hello everybody,

I want to write an Add-In for Outlook which decides automatically between
two smtp-Servers depending on the current IP-Adress.

Where can I set the string for the smtp-Server. I search something like

Outlook.Accounts['myAccount'].Settings.smtpServer

but I could not find anything and Macro-Recording is not possible in Outlook
2003.

Can anybody tell me, where to find the necessary Property?

Best Regards,

It's in the registry and Outlook reads that when it starts up.

Ok - that's more than I knew - but can you tell me, how to get these values
and how to edit them by using an Outlook Add-In?

Best Regards,
Kai

can you tell me, in which key I have to search for the smtp-Server?

Try HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\OMI Account Manager\Accounts. The
different accounts are listed under that key.

I'm sorry, but when I look in regedit, I find this key, but it is empty -
there are no accounts. Is there another possibility?

Try HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\.

Hi Ken,

Thank you for your Hint, with your help I could write a method to change the
SMTP-Settings in the Registry. But now I have another problem: When I change
the value of the relevant Key, Outlook only read this when I restart the
Applikation. Is there a possibility to check the Registry-Values after a
change without restarting Outlook?

Outlook only reads those values when it starts up. No way to change that.
