Outlook 2003 default email issue

[ADAM Web Design]

Here's the scenario, for all you technogeektypes out there:

A client of mine just acquired a new server running Windows 2003 Small Business Edition.

A machine networked to the server is running Windows 2000, with Outlook 2003 as the email client.

Now...here's the problem...for some reason, whenever the machine is rebooted the default email is set to the Microsoft Exchange Server email, which isn't even being used, rather than the client's POP3 email account. The client has to change this every single time, and if Outlook is closed and then reopened, the change sticks. It just doesn't on reboot.

Any thoughts?

This is just a shot in the dark but I know this affects the default mail client with Win2000.

On the Win2000 terminal:
>> Control Panel > Task Bar > Start Menu > Customize

There should then be the default Browser and Email Client. Make sure it is set to Outlook.

Also when Outlook was installed, was it set to 'Internet Mail Only'? If exchange was set here, then you may need to uninstall and reinstall but setting to Internet only.

Hope this helps...
