I have set Microsoft Outlook as my default mail server several times and I
still get messages constantly that there is no default mail server set. It
IS set. What can I do to get rid of that annoying popup? I'm using Office
2007 on Windows Vista.

Thanks,
Doug

Default mail server or default mail client?
A "default mail server" means you have an account *in* Outlook that is set
as the default account.

You are correct--It is default mail CLIENT, not server.

See if this helps:
1.
Click the Windows Start button, and then click Run.

2.
Type outlook.exe /checkclient. If your computer can't find Outlook, you'll
have to type the complete path to your Outlook.exe file, enclosed in quotes
(for instance, "C:/Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\outlook.exe"),
followed by a space, and then /checkclient. You can use the Find Files or
Folders utility on the Start menu to find outlook.exe.

3.
Click OK. Outlook starts and opens a message box indicating which services
are not currently managed by Outlook, and asking if you would like Outlook
to manage these by default. For example, if Outlook has no default priority,
the message is: "Outlook is not currently your default manager for Mail,
News, and Contacts. Would you like to register Outlook as the default
manager?"

4.
Click Yes if you'd like all the options to be managed by default;
otherwise, click No.
