email default not working

S

Stephen

Problem behaviour:
Changing the default 'send via' account doesn't seem to work.
I have set the default email to one of several accounts (account "B"), yet
outlook will send always through one particular account - Account "A" (the
MSN premium hotmail account).
If I use the 'accconts' dropdown button while composing an email to select
the "send" account, account "A" is always in the top position regardless if
it is the default.
Note, changing the "send via" using the accounts drop down while composong
the email is always successful. I want to make B the default send via (which
I thought I have done in the Tools/Email Accounts box.)
Desired Result:
Select any default account once and it will be the send via default
therefore avoinding selecting my send via account each time I compose an
email.

Note: This behaviour occurs regardless if the email is a reply or the
beginning of a thread.

Using Win 2000, Office 2000, Outlook 2003 live, MSN premium email, other pop
email's.
