Default e-mail account does not stay

T

Tony Girgenti

Hello.

When i make a certain e-mail account (Other than Microsoft Exchange Server)
the default in Tools\E-mail accounts, come in the next day, open Outlook 2003
SP2 and it's back to Microsoft Exchange Server.

Does anybody know how to keep it as the default i set it to ?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

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

I've tried this solution as well and it didn't work in my situation. I'm
going to give the SBS login a try.
