How To Change A Primary Account In The Outlook ?

A primary or default email address is the one that the user can set up to receive all correspondence from a website or other organization. We can assist you in changing your primary Outlook account.

Outlook was developed by Microsoft as an email program. It includes many attractive features, such as managing contacts and tasks as well as browsing, calendar management, journaling and note taking.

It was originally developed in 1996, and then relaunched by Microsoft in 2012. The goal of the software was to be a dynamic system that would encourage a sophisticated personal management system among its 400 million users.

Management of accounts

Outlook users can have up to 20 accounts. If you want to delete the primary account, you'll first need to delete all secondary accounts.

The primary account sets most of the default settings for your application. This primary account is the account that was created by the user the first time.

Start with all exchange accounts first, then move on to the default.
