Outlook 2007 email editor does not use default smtp account

[JM]

I am using Outlook 2007 on the Vista ultimate 64 bit OS.
I have three email accounts and have set the default SMTP to one of them in
the "Tools/Account Settings" drop down menu. When composing email, the editor
attempts to use a different SMTP account (i.e., not the default SMTP account)
and nothing moves out of the Outbox.

Knowledge Base Article 829918 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/)
directs me to use the Windows "Settings/Mail" subfolder to create a new mail
profile but the Vista Ultimate 64 Bit OS does not have a "Mail" subfolder
listed under the "Settings" folder. Any suggestions???
