Setting Default Mail Account in Outlook

Overview

When installing the Kerio Connect profile in Outlook, the default email address is being chosen based on the username, preconfigured on the account creation. However, it might be needed to set the second email address as the main sender for particular users. The order of email addresses can be changed using built-in Outlook settings.

Prerequisites

Outlook needs to be configured using Exchange Activesync (EAS) or Kerio Outlook Connector (KOFF).
