    I have Multiple E-Mail accounts on different servers and two Internet access accounts. One is a free trial.
    My problem is that I can only access one of the email accounts when I am connected thru that provider. All other accounts work with either provider.
    Is there any way to get Outlook Express to check that account last?
    I am running Windows xp, IE6 & OE6.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    :confused:

    When you look at the properties of an account, the first field says something to the effect of: "type the name by which you like to refer to these servers."

    I'm pretty certain that windows will check the accounts Alphabetically according to this field.

    I tried numbering the accounts.
    In the tools - Accounts -- window they are listed in order.
    When I did a receive the order was 4, 5, 3, 1, 2.
    Also the set order box is greyed out.
