I have 3 different email accounts One is Exchange which I want to come
directly to my inbox and be my default. #2 is a local account with
Midcontinent cable and the 3rd is Hotmail. I can't get my exchange to load
into the inbox it keeps creating its own info. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, my calendar doesn't seem to show correctly even when it does do it's
own setup.
 
1. PLEASE always give your Outlook version.

2. You can have only 2 in-boxes with your current setup. You can set the
Exchange account to use a .pst file that you create for your Personal Mail
from your ISP in which case you would have 3 in-boxes, one for Exchange, one
for your ISP mail and one for Hotmail.

3. If you are using Outlook 2007, you can set your ISP mail to deliver
directly to your .pst file and not your Exchange mailbox.

4. Are you using the Outlook Connector for your Hotmail?

5. I don't understand your question about the Calendar at all.

Ok... I have office 2007.
How do I get one of my email accounts to come directly into my inbox that is
set up with Office? When I go through adding my Exchange account I type in
my information and it automatically adds a new inbox called
(e-mail address removed). then if I try to add the others it does the same.
I am obviously doing something wrong. When you first set up outlook it seems
to work but since I didn't do my email set up right away I can't get the
email to go directly to the original setup. I know that is confusing!

The calendar does not show up as a calendar for my exchange is shows up as a
list
 
So you want exchange mail copied to the local inbox? That defeats the
reasons for using Exchange but if you set the pst you want to use as
default, all of your exchange mail will be moved to it. You'll still have
the exchange mailbox listed in your folder list - you can't get rid of it.

Try Views, Current View, Day/Week/Month to fix the calendar.

Sounds to me like you're not creating an Exchange account, but an IMAP or
POP account that connects to the Exchange server. Can you be explicit,
please, in describing how you created the account?
