Hi,

Thank you for the confirmation.

I see. When you follow the steps given in my previous message, what result do you get? Do you get any error or do you experience any issue?

Thank you.

Answer 4

The "set as default" option is grayed-out so I am unable to select. I assume that is because it is already my default email??

I no longer have 2007. This snapshot is from my Outlook 2016. It should be very similar in Outlook 2007. Look for the following:

Click Browse button and select which Inbox (or folder) you want to start with.
