I have 3 POP accounts and 1 IMAP account. One of my POP accounts is set to
be the default. However no matter what I do Outlook uses the IMAP account as
the default.

How do I correct this?

So all new mail gets sent on the imap account? Replies and forwards should
go out on the account that downloaded the message.

Outlook 2007.

All mail gets sent on the pop account that is the default (as long as I
remember to manually choose it). Replies from that account are then
forwarded onto the imap account so that I can access them from home, work,
mobile etc.

I basically want the pop account to be the default for sending. Can I not do
this?

If you have to manually choose the POP account then it's NOT set as the
default account.....

I shall clarify;

New mail gets sent on the default POP account without having to manually
choose it.

It's mail that I reply to that is the problem. The POP account that I have
as default is the email address that people use to send me emails. I have
them forwarded to my IMAP account so that I can access them anywhere. When I
reply I would like it to be sent via my POP account as that is the address
that they are used to. However Outlook wants to automatically send them via
the IMAP account.

If you reply to the message that you have received in your POP account then
Outlook will use that account to reply from. That is default behaviour of
Outlook and can't be changed AFAIK.
If you are saying that you are opening en email received in your POP
account, and when you then click on "Reply" Outlook is automatically using
the IMAP account to reply from, (are these two entirely different emails by
the way?) then I would suggest there is something you aren't telling us
about your mail setup. This just doesn't "happen"

The POP(Virgin) account is set to automatically forward all emails onto the
IMAP account so the email will be opened within the IMAP(Gmail) account and
not from the POP account. If I use GMail web interface I can set it to reply
to emails using the account it was sent to originally. I would have liked
Outlook to do the same.

Well it won't will it, because the email has been received by the IMAP
(GMail) account.
Outlook will ONLY, AUTOMATICALLY, send a reply through the account that the
email has been RECEIVED BY OUTLOOK in.
No email client that I can think of will AUTOMATICALLY send a reply via an
account that a) does not exist in the email client and b)is not the
originating account
