Re: Default mail account reverts to exchange mail box

Hi,

Thanks for posting here and also for Les's input.

To set the POP3 account as default, please try the following:

1) Server Management -> Client Computers
2) Click the client machine, then View Computer Settings
3) Expand Client Setup Configuration, right-click Configure Outlook Profile
Information and select Change.

Alternatively, there is a REG value that can be created on the client under
the registry key: Location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\ClientSetup
Name: NoTransportOrder
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1

The value is called NoTransportOrder (by default, it does not exist) which
when set to 1 will make it so that the outlook transport order code does
not run with applauncher for just these instances where people don''t want
to have the default transport order changed each time. As a result, if you
change the Outlook profile, it will not be reverted even the user
re-logons.

Hope the information helps.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
