Hi-

Using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003-If you have another mail account set as
default in Email Accounts besides the Exchange server, Outlook will
eventually switch this back to the Exchange Server. I have not found a fix
for this but it is getting troublesome since we dont use Exchange except for
calendar and contact info. Please help.
 
I had the same problem with my Win 2003 SBS server. See the fix I got below.

*I'm using Outlook 2003 in an MS Exchange enviroment. Exchange is
setup (or at
least should be!) just for local in-house mail. I also have a POP3
mail
account which I'm using for internet mail.

I want the POP3 account to be the default when I create a message, so
I go
into TOOLS \ E-MAIL ACCOUNTS and set it to be the default. However it
keeps
switching back to the Exchange account as being the default. Seems to
happen
the next time I logon or restart the computer.

Any way to get Outlook to keep my default setting? *

Using SBS2003? This is a common complaint. If you're using the SBS
login
script...

At the client, create the following registry key:

Location: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\ClientSetup
Name: NoTransportOrder
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1

This will prevent the login script from changing the order.
