Tips & Warnings
If you delete the account that Outlook Express has designated your "default email," you will have to choose another account to be the default account.
If you have multiple accounts at the same domain, make sure you are deleting the proper account name. To determine this if the account names listed are confusing, click "Properties" to confirm that the email you want to delete is the one you have highlighted.
If you accidentally delete the wrong email address from Outlook Express, simply use the "Add" button to set the account up again.
You can use this same process to delete any unwanted Newsgroup or Directory Services accounts also.
Outlook Express does not have a limit on the number of emails you can check. Once you have chosen a "default email account," you can add or remove as many accounts as you desire.
