Outlook XP problems...and questions..please help. :)


Question

Hello all.

Got a problem with Outlook XP. I set up two hotmail accounts in Outlook XP. Currently, in the Outlook Shortcuts panel I see both of my email accounts stating:

Hotmail - Inbox

mderry1 - Inbox.

The HOTMAIL-Inbox is my other email account, why is the name of that account not appearing like the "mderry1-inbox" one?

Second, how would I program Outlook XP, when opening up, to open directly in the "inbox" of my default hotmail account? Right now, once Outlook is opened for the 1st time, both email accounts are cascaded up, allowing a plus sign to drop them down, and Outlook defaults to the "inbox" on Outlook Today.

I hope I made sense of this. If anyone could help, I would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you.

Mike

well if you click Outlook on the Start menu it should take you directly to your inbox. The link on MSN Messenger when configured to a none hotmail inbox takes you straight there too so maybe someone can take a look at that one.
