Hi all

I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no ... but it's worth a shot ! I'm running Office 2007 SP2 on Win 7 on my laptop. I travel around to different offices, and sometimes connect it to a network at a customer's premises. I have different accounts configured in Outlook which I use depending on my location. Eg, if I'm at a customer site, I want to include one of their internal addresses in my send receive groups. If I'm at our head office, I want to use IMAP access (which I don't normally use when I'm in the field due to bandwidth restrictions) rather than POP3

is it possible to use NLA (or something else) to dynamically change the send/receive groups based on my IP address ?

I'm pretty sure it's not possible, but I figure it's worth asking at least :)

Not that I'm aware of. Outlook doesn't hook into the network component like you need. The OS does that. So you're outta luck unless some vbscript can be concocted to do it.
