Outlook 2010 Default Account
I am starting a new thread. Last week I posted a complexsituation with captures attached of a serious issue with Outlook 2010. Before I started work I created a Acronis TIBimage – and as I worked – and degradation developed, tweaking Outlook 2010, Ihad to repeatedly resort to that original image to get back to the originalstarting point/.
I have managed to get Outlook 2010 working except for thisone issue. Please look over the captures attached. It deals with Brent’s emailaccount – listed in duplicate.
In my experiments I keep ending up with two accounts. InControl Panel/Mail/Email tab is listed the working Brent email account. Thataccount is not marked as Default. Because in Mail/Email Brent account is notmarked as default I have issues. That working Brent account that not marked asDefault I can send and receive.
There are two Brent email accounts. Two exact accounts -with a slight variable. I have in Mail/Emailthis account:Brentetcetc@etcetc.com
In Mail/Data File I have this:
Brentetcetc@etcetc.com
Brentetcetc@etcetc.com-brent
If Brentetcetc@etcetc.comwere marked as Default I would have no issues with the Brent account.
Because the Brentetcetc@etcetc.com-brentis marked as default that creates the problem. And I cannot delete the Brentetcetc@etcetc.com-brentaccount in Mail/Data File. If I could delete the Default Brentetcetc@etcetc.com-brent Iwould then be able to mark Brentetcetc@etcetc.comas Default.
I have spent days on this this. Creating restore points,creating new TIB files and so forth.
How I ended up with struggling with the two accounts isthis: if I run NK2edit to populate Outlook’s contacts with a massive list ofdata I get the message that NK2edit cannot find the Default email account. Becausein Mail/Email the account listed there is not marked as Default.
I have learned that if I delete the working email account from Data Files I fully and completelycompromise and corrupt the normal functionality of Outlook2010. That I learnedby my previous experiments. Brent canobviously work with Outlook 2010. I have instructed him to ignore Brentetcetc@etcetc.com-brent andto work only with Brentetcetc@etcetc.com
Also I took a look at Regedit/Outlook and thought I couldpossibly delete files that were unused. I will attach this capture also.
One last comment: in my journey I did a Outlook repair. Thatdid not help. I then did a uninstall of Office and reinstalled Office – and Outlookended up with the two accounts.
Thanks for your attentions,
