Default Mailbox

Hello,

I've reinstalled Microsoft Outlook, and am trying to restore my previous
settings (forgot to backup).

One setting that I'd like to get back is my desktop notification when I
receive new e-mail (the rectangular popup in the bottom right of my screen).
I only use an IMAP e-mail account, and I believe that the popup is not
working because this account is not set as my default account. How do I
deactive the main Outlook account and make my IMAP account the default so
that my desktop alert will work?

(Also, are there any other factors that may be causing the desktop alert to
not work?)

Thanks.
Eric

Click to expand...

To the best of my knowledge, you can't configure an IMAP account as your
delivery location. What version of Outlook are you using?
 
Thanks for your reply.
I am using Outlook 2003.

It must be possible to somehow set my IMAP box as default, or there must be
some other way to receive desktop alerts on the mailbox because I was
receiving them before I reinstalled.

Thanks.
