That's not exposed in the Outlook object model in Outlook 2003. You can get
it using Extended MAPI, but that's not supported for managed code, only for
C++ or Delphi. If you are using Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) you
can use that to get the profile name.

Outlook 2007 exposes tha tthrough the Namespace.CurrentProfileName property.
If you are using Redemption in Outlook 2002 or higher, you can use something
like the following:

set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
MsgBox Session.ProfileName
