Tools/Email Accounts/Default - always reverts back to Exchange Server

[Good One]

Hi,

We are using Exchange Server to share folders etc, however, we want each
client PC to use POP/SMTP account to send emails. From Outlook 2003 by
accessing Tools/Email Accounts/Change Existing Accounts and changing the
default from Microsoft Exchange Server to pop account, all emails sent are
then sent by pop. However, when logging off and logging on again the system
reverts back to Exchange. Any way to have the change in default setting
stick.

Alternatively, how can I set up Server 2003 so that an emails passed through
to Exchange Server store automatically gets sent via SMTP, thereby resolving
our issue of emails not getting sent? We do not want emails retrieved via
Exchange.

Regards

SBS2003? Known issue - remove outlook config from the logon script.

When you configured Exchange, it should have set up SMTP for you.
