Register Outlook Express as your default mail program.

Go to Start | Run and type the following:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /reg

(Check the path to msimn.exe to make sure that is correct) (and to prevent
typos, copy/paste the line above into Start/Run)

Make certain to include the quotations marks and the space between the
ending quotation mark and the slash.

Then open Internet Explorer and go to Tools\Internet Options\Programs and
set OE as the default mail (and news) program.

I created a new account that my mail server wouldn't recognise so I deleted
it
and went back to my default account. But now when I start to send an email
I
get a message that says: "One or more messages in your Outbox do not have
a
valid account specified. Would you like to use your default account to
send
these messages".

I click yes then get a server error saying the message could not be sent
because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address..... which the
error
message says is the new account I deleted because it didn't work.

I get the no valid account assigned to messages in my Outbox everytime I
open Outlook Express and it asks me if I wanna use my default account to
send
them, even though I don't have messages in the Outbox. I'm having to go
through this procedure with every email I send.

Looks like the problem is Outlook Express is not assigning my account ( I
only have one set up) to my outgoing mail. And when it askes me if I want
to
send the mail using my default account and I click yes... it's sending it
through an account that
has been deleted, which is triggering a server error about an invalid
account..... although my mail is actually being delivered....

Is there any way to assign my default account to my outgoing mail...
besides
through Tools, options, and then in my mail account manager? Because I've
tried doing it that way several times already. Seems there should be some
way
to get rid of all these error messages that pop up everytime I open
Outlook
Express and everytime I try to send an email...

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
BJ
