how do I set my default email account

[Roger]

We have a server using SBS2003 with 3 workstations on XPpro. We are using
Outlook2003. We have access to the internet from the workstations and when
we send an email it is always outside our own LAN. We never send email to
ourselves, therefore we want our internet service provider email account to
be the default email account for sending email, not the Microsoft Exchange
Server. How can I change the default account to be used, please ? Thanks ...

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
