Our sales department monitor eachothers mailboxes. Each user has every other users mailboxes open as an additional mailbox.
Whenever a new employee comes along, we have to visit each users' PC to add the additional mailbox(es) to their Outlook profile. This is a waste of resources and is something I'd like to automate.
There must be a way of programmatically doing this via VBA Script, or some such means? Searching on Google hasn't been particularly helpful.
The Outlook object model (Outlook VBA) doesn't provide anything for editing user profiles. You can try to use a low level API - Extended MAPI. See Administering Profiles and Message Services for more information.
Since you are using VBA, you cannot uses Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi).
If using Redemption is an option, you can us its RDOSession.Stores.AddDelegateExchangeMailBoxStore method to add a delegate mailbox to the current profile.
If you do not want to log to the profile fist, you can use the ProfMan library to add a mailbox. See http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/profman_examples.htm#example6
