multiple POP3s and MS Exchange -- how do I set priority?

O

oyemateo

I am new to Outlook -- please dumb down your answers. I have multiple POP3
accounts (yahoo, comcast, & work) as well a Microsoft Exchange email access
account. Outlook automatically set the Microsoft Echange account as the
primary -- but it's NOT my primary account. How do/can I change the priority?
I've tried selecting [my yahoo acct] as the priority, but it always reverts
back to the MS Echange acct, and the Calendar associated with that account --
yet my Yahoo is my primary. Please help. Or is this some sort of Microsoft
default that I cannot overcome?
