I would do this a little differently. First, set up two mailboxes for the user with the second having a primary SMTP address of the other company. Set them to be associated with the same NT account. Set the second mailbox to have an alternate recipient of the first mailbox. Give the second mailbox a display name of something like "Smith, John (other company).
Now, the user will use the first mailbox and never go into the second mailbox but since the second mailbox has an alternate recipient pointing to the first mailbox, they will not lose messages. Now, activate the "From" field in the user's Outlook. This will display a "From" field to display when they are sending messages. If they want to send as their company, they do not mess with the from field and simply send the email per normal. However, if they want to send as if they are from the other company, they just fill in mailbox number two in the "From" field. This saves the hassles of having two profiles and jumping back and forth between mailboxes. All mail ends up in a single location and they can send as either "person" from the same mailbox while in the same Outlook session. If anyone has improvements to this process, please let me know, but this is the "slickest" way I have found to be able to pull this off. > It depends on what you want to achieve... > If these people are to *always* send from company B (new company)then > just add the new (smtp) mail address in their mailbox properties and set > that as primary/ reply address. > Alternatively, if they only need to send occassionally, then set up > another mailbox for these users, set the mail address as above, assign > it to the relevant users and create a new profile for outlook on their > pc's.
