Good Morning, I have a bit of a problem and I am really hoping someone can help.

One of our clients has just switched to using shared mailboxes for their users, sales, admin, orders etc. What they want, is for outlook to use one of the shared mailboxes as the default account for sending. Now, I know this isn't supported by default, but I found an article where somebody was setting up custom buttons attached to macros that would change to a default address, this was for users using lots of different accounts rather than shared mailboxes however.

Does anyone know if this can be done with shared mailboxes as well? I have been trying to replicate it but have been unsuccesful so far.

code:

Dim oAccount As Outlook.Account
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem

For Each oAccount In Application.Session.Accounts
If oAccount = "Name of Default Account" Then
Set oMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
oMail.SendUsingAccount = oAccount
oMail.Display
End If
Next
End Sub

Here is the example used in the article. Any advice?

Edit: Apparently tab = post.
