RE: SMTP Authentication flag

Hi Ashutosh,
I understand that you would like to programmatically find out if your
account was set with "use the same login information as the incoming
server" for the outgoing server.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

Based on my research, no public API for Outlook can retrieve the
information. One possible workaround I can think is that you can read the
related registry keys under the key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\Default Outlook Profile\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676.

To locate what the registry key (0000000x) should be for your account, you
can iterate the registry keys to check if the value of the subkey "Account
Name" equals to your account name. Then you can read of the key information
of "SMTP Server", "SMTP Use Auth", "SMTP User", "SMTP Use SPA" and "SMTP
AuthMethod" etc.

If you configure "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication", "SMTP
Use Auth" is 1. By default, if "Use same settings as my incoming mail
server" is selected, "SMTP AuthMethod" is not displayed; if "Log on using"
selected, "SMTP AuthMethod" is 1; and if "Log on incoming mail server
before sending mail" selected, "SMTP AuthMethod" is 2.

You may refer to the following articles regarding read data from windows
registry:

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.

Best regards,
