How to open OutlookExpress on a specific account?

Bonsoir !

OE ne pouvant pas être piloté par COM / OLE-automation, il reste la
solution des sendkeys.
Malheureusement, il y a des variations. Par exemple, une identité peut
avoir, ou non, un mot de passe. Et, la position dans la liste n'est pas
garantie.
Bref, ce n'est pas très simple. Car il faut alors analyser le contenu
textuel des contrôles, chose pas évidente.

Bon courage.

Good evening

OE cannot be driven by COM / OLE-automation, there remains the solution of
using sendkeys.
Unfortunately, there are some variations (alternatives?). For example, an
identity can have, or not (have), a password. And, the position within the
list isn't guaranteed.
In brief, it isn't very simple, because it is then necessary to analyse
the text output of the tests, something that is not obvious.
Good luck


and good luck to you from me as well.

/profile profilename

Loads the specified profile. If your profile name contains a space,
enclose the profile name in quotation marks.



This is a command line switch.

Works for Outlook, not sure about Express.

Is the real question how to SEND or RECEIVE mail on a specific
account? Or truly how to just open OE with a specified account
active?

My question is just to Open OE on a specified account, because if you can
open it, you can send and receive using OE interface.
the true question is how to eliminate SPAM easily.

My first step is
To scan all messages from the server (I have a dozen accounts)
I use The Michel Claveau AntiSPAM program that read only the subject of the
message
I delete automatically 60/70 percent of messages

The step two is
to delete NON-obvious spam and the quickest solution is to Open OE and
manually delete these messages

I don't know about /profile command and OE.

TRY THIS
------------
'IDforOE.vbs - Force Outlook Express 5 to prompt for an Identity

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

'Clear the values from the registry
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Last Username", ""
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Last User ID", ""
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Default User ID", ""
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Identities\Start As", ""

'Launch Outlook Express
WSHShell.Run "Msimn.exe"
-----------------
put this in a text file call something.vbs

run it (you can have pdox run it)
this code blanks the current user (the default user is not always current
depending on your settings) but you can fill in the user you want in the
quotes after each value and when run it "presets" what OE will open as...

you may have to fiddle with the other oe options of each identity

So you could just use Paradox to setRegistryValue() on each of those
(instead of RegWrite) prior to opening OE.

You could, then, even getRegistryValue() on each of the above and
reset to whatever they were after OE was closed.

Or not?

Yes, I use this code, not directly in Paradox, but I change the OE icon to
pint to this script, so every time a user on a shared PC hits the icon it
asks them which account they want to use... they have several generic
"receiver accounts".

You probably could have pdox do this, or preload the identity, etc...
lots of variations....

Regis,

Are you aware that the version of OE you are using is well out of date and
has many security issues etc etc. So any testing you do for that version
will most likely not work if you update to the latest version of OE because
under Windows XP SP2 Outlook Express is broken and logging in/out and
switching identities often fails - I know because I use OE constantly.

Have you investigated the OE message rules. I used to get approx 2000 spam
messages a day until I started to use the message rules and have OE delete
them automatically, now only a few a day (may 3 or 4) slip through.

Leslie.
