Mailboxes and profiles

[ideprize]

In my Outlook setup there are 2 mailboxes - I don't "log" into either one. They are both accessible equally in the left pane arranged in a vertical stack. The VBA app I have has an itemadd event and it only fires when the "top" and original mailbox is sent to. What I have gathered is I have to with the VBA code select the other mailbox's profile and thus its folder set. How do I select the profile of the second box? I tried making it the default mailbox but this did nothing for me. I realize this is a conceptual problem and I not seeing something architecturally so any insight into this "mailbox separation" would be greatly appreciated.

I have some code here that might be useful to you.

Basically, you point the ItemAdd Event at each mailbox by walking the folder hierarchy.

[vba]
Private WithEvents MyInbox As Outlook.Items
Private WithEvents MyOtherInbox As Outlook.Items

Private Sub Application_Startup()

Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set objNS = GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set MyInbox = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items ' default Inbox
Set MyOtherInbox = objNS.Folders("Mailbox - Other Name"). _
Folders("Inbox").Items ' the "other" Inbox
End Sub
[/vba]

Change "Mailbox - Other Name" to the name that actually appears at the top of the folder hierarchy for that profile.

Now you can use MyInbox_ItemAdd to deal with incoming items in your Inbox, and MyProjectInbox_ItemAdd for incoming items in the other Inbox.
