Hi,

Does anyone know how to get Office 365 to stop defaulting to Windows Live mail?

The problem I'm having is it's trying to send emails out with my email account and I want to switch it to someone else's. I tried uninstalling Windows Live mail and somehow it's still sending it through there.

I don't see a way in the options to change the email account or client. I set under Win10 default apps Outlook to be the default, but no go.

Never mind I fixed it :)

Had to remove all of the Windows Live Essentials stuff and one simply called 'mail' and now it's using Outlook with the correct address to send the emails out from Word.
