Outlook Default Mail Account - unable to select - Error Ox8004010b

No I'm not planning to use BCM
thanks

Aha, you have BCM installed as well. Are you actually using this or was it
just installed when obtaining your computer or is it something you just
installed and planning to use?
Changing your default delivery location will have an impact on BCM and will
probably break the links between your data stored in Outlook and in the BCM
database.

Thank you. I can't see a house logo anywhere - I have gone to Tools:
Accounts
Settings which I also got to by following your File: Data Management,
and
there are four email addresses listed, of which the top one is the
Hotmail
MAPI address showing as (send from this aco**** by default) and
underneath
are the three POP/SMTP email addresses but there are no house logos in
this
dialog box, but yes, my Hotmail account has default. If I click on
another
email address and then click on "Set as default" I get the error
message.

You must first set a different default delivery location then,
namely
the
pst-file that you use to store your POP3 emails in for the account
that
you
want to set as the default.
After restarting Outlook, you should be able to set a POP3 account
as
the
default.

In that case you could remove it from your mail profile or additionally even
uninstall it completely.
Start Outlook again without BCM and I think you probably don't have the
error anymore changing your defaults either.

Let me know how it worked out for you.

In that case you might be better off to start with a clean mail profile as
per;

You could try if Outlook can fix the mail profile corruption via;
Start- Run; outlook.exe /cleanprofile

Hi Maggie,

Odd that it did it on its own but you probably won't complain ;-)

You're welcome and if it starts to act up again, feel free to return.

In that case you might be better off to start with a clean mail profile
as
per;
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm

You could try if Outlook can fix the mail profile corruption via;
Start- Run; outlook.exe /cleanprofile

I have uninstalled Business Contact Manager but sadly am still getting
the
same problem with the same error code

In that case you could remove it from your mail profile or
additionally
even
uninstall it completely.
Start Outlook again without BCM and I think you probably don't have
the
error anymore changing your defaults either.

Let me know how it worked out for you.

No I'm not planning to use BCM
thanks

"Roady [MVP]" wrote:

Aha, you have BCM installed as well. Are you actually using this or
was
it
just installed when obtaining your computer or is it something you
just
installed and planning to use?
Changing your default delivery location will have an impact on BCM
and
will
probably break the links between your data stored in Outlook and in
the
BCM
database.

The house logo is visible above the folder list containing all my
mails
in
a
box called Business Contact Manager Home.
If I go File - Data File Management the Data Files window shows
Name Filename
Comment
Archive Folders archive.pst in
C:|Users\Maggie......
Business Contact Mngr MAGGIE-PC:BedandBreakfast
Personal Folders Outlook.pst in
C:\Users\Maggie........ Default
Not available
Not available

is this what you mean?
THanks
Maggie

Yes, but actually wanted to know which delivery location is set
as
the
default for you. That is something you'll see on the tab that is
selected
when you open the dialog via File- Data File Management...

The house logo should be visible when you look at the folder
list
containing
all your mails on the left side of the main Outlook window.

Thank you. I can't see a house logo anywhere - I have gone to
Tools:
Accounts
Settings which I also got to by following your File: Data
Management,
and
there are four email addresses listed, of which the top one is
the
Hotmail
MAPI address showing as (send from this aco**** by default)
and
underneath
are the three POP/SMTP email addresses but there are no house
logos
in
this
dialog box, but yes, my Hotmail account has default. If I
click
on
another
email address and then click on "Set as default" I get the
error
message.
Thanks

Is the folder set to which your Hotmail messages are
delivered
at
the
top
and does the folder set have a logo with a house?
If you go to File- Data File Management... does your Hotmail
delivery
location have the comment "Default" behind it?

Thank you, but I need your help in explaining your reply -
I
don't
know
if
the Hotmail account is also the folder set marked with the
Outlook
Today
logo
as I can't see anything like this......please can you give
me
step
by
step
instructions on what you are recommending that I do! Many
thanks

Today" logo?
You must first set a different default delivery location
then,
namely
the
pst-file that you use to store your POP3 emails in for the
account
that
you
want to set as the default.
After restarting Outlook, you should be able to set a POP3
account
as
the
default.
