Default email account

[Guest]

How can I set my default email account to be my external POP3 account rather
than my microsoft exchange? I go through email accounts and select the pop3
account then chose set as default and it keeps those settings until I reboot.
Once I reboot the computer Microsoft exchange account becomes the default
email account once again.

Thanks for anyones help!

If the Exchange server is running on Microsoft Small Business Server 2003,
users with non-Exchange accounts in the same profile as the Exchange account
may see the default mail account always revert to the Exchange account,
regardless of the user's previous choice. A registry entry is available to
prevent the SBS login script from changing the transport order:

Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\ClientSetup
Value Name: NoTransportOrder
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

Thank you Sue.

Pardon my ignorance, do you mean I need to create a new 'entry'? I managed
to get this far HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\ClientSetup, but
now am puzzled with the next information. Are you suggesting I create a file
with the information :

Value Name: NoTransportOrder
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

Thank you for helping!

The information refers to a DWORD value in the ClientSetup registry key
mentioned. If it does not already exist, you will need to create that value.

You have made a registry backup, right?

Yes, I've made the backup. If you don't mind 'spelling-it-out' for me, since
I've never done this before. inside the 'clientSetup' registry key, I will
righ click, new, DWord value and name it NoTransportOrder?

Thanks Sue. It worked!!!!

Now I have another question for you. A coworker who has a laptop, who is on
the server and uses Microsoft exchange does not have the
'SmallBusinessServer' option in
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\ClientSetup". Is this a problem?

Thanks again for your great advice and help!!!
