How to send and receive email

01.01.2007

This code activates the Tools|Send and Receive|All accounts menu item:

uses Office_TLB; // Office97 for D5 users
var
  ToolsMenu: CommandBar;
  SendRecMenuItem, AllAccs: CommandBarControl;
begin
  ToolsMenu := (Outlook.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars as CommandBars).Item['Tools'];
 
  // D5 users can omit the underscore after 'Controls' in the next two lines
  SendRecMenuItem := ToolsMenu.Controls_['Send and Receive'];
  AllAccs := (SendRecMenuItem.Control as CommandBarPopup).Controls_['All Accounts'];
  AllAccs.Execute;
 

If you're using Outlook 2000, you'll have to change 'Send and Receive', perhaps to 'Send/Receive'. (I've had one report that this works, one that it doesn't - perhaps there are spaces around the '/'? Any clarification of this would be very welcome! Pointless menu changes don't make automation any easier...)
