Dim xSelection As Selection

Dim i As Long
Dim xAccount As Account
Dim xCurFld As Folder
Dim xDraftsFld As Folder
Dim xTmpFld As Folder
Dim xArr() As String

On Error Resume Next
xCount = 0

For Each xAccount In Outlook.Application.Session.Accounts
    Set xDraftsFld = xAccount.DeliveryStore.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDrafts)
    If xDraftsFld.EntryID = xCurFld.EntryID Then
        Set xTmpFld = xCurFld.Parent
    End If

            Set xMail = Application.Session.GetItemFromID(xArr(i))
            If xMail.Recipients.Count <> 0 Then
                xMail.sEnd
                xCount = xCount + 1
            End If
        Next

Hi guys. Thought I'd share. Here's my code for sending all drafts:
Sub SendAllDrafts() 'By

If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to send ALL the items in your drafts folder?", _
vbQuestion + vbYesNo) <> vbYes Then Exit Sub

Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace 'Change view to Inbox to avoid inline error
Set myNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") 'Change view to Inbox to avoid inline error
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = _
myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) 'Change view to Inbox to avoid inline error

Dim fldDraft As MAPIFolder, msg As Outlook.MailItem, intCount As Integer
Set fldDraft = Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDrafts) 'Sends all drafts in your main drafts folder. For a subfolder, add .Folders("folder name")
intCount = 0
Do While fldDraft.Items.count > 0
Set msg = fldDraft.Items(1)
msg.Send
intCount = intCount + 1
Loop
If Not (msg Is Nothing) Then Set msg = Nothing
Set fldDraft = Nothing
MsgBox intCount & " messages sent", vbInformation + vbOKOnly

End Sub

This code sends all drafts in a subfolder called Merge Tools (it asks you before sending). I'm sure you guys can edit it to suit your needs though. It's far simpler. Enjoy :)
Sub SendAllMergeToolsDrafts()

If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to send ALL the items in your Merge Tools drafts folder?", _
vbQuestion + vbYesNo) <> vbYes Then Exit Sub

Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace 'Change view to Inbox to avoid inline error
Set myNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") 'Change view to Inbox to avoid inline error
Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = _
myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) 'Change view to Inbox to avoid inline error

Dim fldDraft As MAPIFolder, msg As Outlook.MailItem, intCount As Integer
Set fldDraft = Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDrafts).Folders("Merge Tools") 'Sends all drafts in the Merge Tools folder only
intCount = 0
Do While fldDraft.Items.count > 0
Set msg = fldDraft.Items(1)
msg.Send
intCount = intCount + 1
Loop
If Not (msg Is Nothing) Then Set msg = Nothing
Set fldDraft = Nothing
MsgBox intCount & " messages sent", vbInformation + vbOKOnly

End Sub

Hi, quick question maybe you have an Idea. We have an external application that saves all mails to the drafts folder. if i run the macro we have the problem, that only the first mail in the list is beeing sent correctly, all other mails are deferred because it adds quote marks ' ' to the mail adress.Is there a way to avoid this?

Can you explain why the last mail (i = 1) is recreated in a new MailItem instead of just .Send?

Thanks.

We used the script to send all draft emails at once for a batch of statement emails generated from sage 200. The emails in the sent items look fine but customers are are receiving them with the body text in Chinese! Any ideas what could be happening here?

Hi skyyang, Im facing the same problem. I draft usually 15-20 emails and then use this code to send them all at once, but later realise that one of those emails do not get sent, rather they are sent to my 'Deleted' folder. Even the prompt says the correct number of emails for eg: '20 emails sent' but when I check, only 19 would have been sent, one I will find it lying in my deleted items folder. I want all the emails to be sent to their recipients without error. Can you please tell me why this happens. Please help.

I have multiple exchange accounts. I want to have one of the accounts that isn't my default to be the sender. Where would I insert this in the code? Thanks!
