{
    if(Item is Outlook.MailItem)
    {
        Outlook.MailItem mailItem = Item as Outlook.MailItem;
        if (mailItem != null)
        {
           MessageBox.Show("Sender's Email Address "+mailItem.SenderEmailAddress);
           MessageBox.Show("Sender's Email Address "+mailItem.SentOnBehalfOfName); 
          MessageBox.Show("Sender's Email Address "+mailItem.SendUsingAccount);
        }
    }
}

Sender related properties are set only after the message is actually sent and moved to the Sent Items folder. You might want to use the Items.ItemAdd event on the Sent Items folder.

Can i get which Account's email address and Account Name I am sending the email in ItemSend only – C J May 07 '13 at 09:49
Yes, but it might be null unless it was explicitly specified. – Dmitry Streblechenko May 07 '13 at 19:47
Ok I got the work around i used mailItem.SendUsingAccount; Display Name and Resolved the smtpAddress too – CHANDRAHAS May 09 '13 at 07:06

There is absolutely no reason to do that - each Account object exposes the Account.CurrentUser property (returns the Recipient object). – Dmitry Streblechenko May 09 '13 at 18:17

This is the Code i have used

    public Outlook.MAPIFolder sentFolder = null;
    public Outlook.Items itmsSentFolder = null;
    sentFolder = applicationObject.Session.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail);
    itmsSentFolder = sentFolder.Items;
    itmsSentFolder.ItemAdd += new Outlook.ItemsEvents_ItemAddEventHandler(itmsSentFolder_ItemAdd); 
void itmsSentFolder_ItemAdd(object Item)
        {

                if (Item is Outlook.MailItem)
                {
                    Outlook.MailItem mailItem = Item as Outlook.MailItem;
                    if (mailItem != null)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("Sender's Email Address " + mailItem.SenderEmailAddress);
                        MessageBox.Show("Sent On Behalf Of Name " + mailItem.SentOnBehalfOfName);
                        Outlook.Account ac = (Outlook.Account)mailItem.SendUsingAccount;
                        if(ac != null)
                        {
                            MessageBox.Show("Sender's Account Name " + ac.SmtpAddress);
                        }

                    }

            }
        }

Thanks for the idea Dmitry Streblechenko
