Default incoming mail

I have changed from Outlook Express to Microsoft Office Outlook. My settings
look to be right and my default mail account is Microsoft, yet mail is not
going there, still going to Outlook Express. How can I fix this? Thank you.

Remove the account from OE.

Default incoming mail

Being the default mail program just means that if another program wants
to send an e-mail, it will use the default mail program. Being the
default has nothing to do with receiving/downloading mail.

Mail gets downloaded into whatever mail program you run. When using a
POP3 mail server, by default all messages are deleted from the server
after downloading, leaving nothing for another mail program to get.

You need to do any ONE of the following:
- Stop running Outlook Express
- Run OE in a news-only mode
Command Line Options for Outlook Express
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=177233
- Remove the mail account in OE (Tools, Accounts, Mail)
- Tell OE not to download mail (Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
General - uncheck the include this account in send and receive)
- Tell OE to leave messages on the server (Tools, Accounts, Mail,
Properties, Advanced)
