RE: How do I change default email to POP3 instead of Exchange Serv

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello Joel,
It looks like this worked!!!! I do have small business server 2003. I
added the registry value and have tested it a couple of times now by turning
my computer on and off and the workstation does not revert back to the
Exchange Server anymore. What a blessing!! Do you know if there are any
things I should be aware of such as changes or errors that may come up
because I edited the registry? I am always very nervous of editing the
registry settings, but everything works great now. I just want to be aware
of any problems that adding this value may cause. Thank you so much for the
help. Have a great day!!!!!
