After installing the most recent service pack and update 14.6.6 for Outlook 2011, the default email account is no longer working.
I have just confused a bunch of clients by sending from the incorrect email accounts.
I have reset the default account several times and restarted outlook - but to no avail.
I have physically deleted the zombie default account, and then reset the default account to the correct one, but for some reason, another account is then used.
All the accounts are IMAP based.
I was forced to rebuild the database after an SSL issue forced Outlook to stop receiving email. This initially wiped all of my accounts and I lost all of my contacts - I was then required to rebuild the database again, but using an older ID (given that the
most recent didn't have the contacts or email accounts, for some bizarre reason).
I question the point of being able to set the default account if it's of no consequence. I assume that this is a bug introduced in the latest update.
I think that maybe it's time to sunset MS Outlook - any other options for an email client managing multiple email accounts (apart from Apple Mail) very much appreciated - this past week has been a total nightmare.
