Default Email

[Guest]

Dear MVP's:

I have outlook 2003 configured to an Server SBS 2003 Exchange server. I also
have 2 pop3 accounts. Everything is working fine. However, everytime I
restart the PC, it makes the exchange account the default under "Accounts"
and then, as I have not configured exchange to handle outgoin email, emails
do not always go through. When I set the one POP3 account to the default mail
is fine. But again, when I restart it goes back to the Exchange mailbox as
the default.

Any advice is appreciated.

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
