How can I make my POP3 acct be the default email acct in my Outlook

I have an Outlook profile that is tied to my exchange server acct via
RPC over HTTP.  I also have a personal POP3 acct on a separate pop3
server and have this acct also programmed into my Outlook 2003
profile.

The problem is that when I want to send out an new email, it defaults
to my exchange acct, not my personal pop3 acct.

Can this be changed?  I want my personal acct to be the default, and
the Exchange acct be the optional one.

I do not want to create a whole new profile, because my calendar and
contacts need to be the exchange based ones and I need to have those
open all day long.

thanx in advnce

Assumptions:
1) You have 2 mail accounts for which one is default but not the desired one.
2) You're using Outlook and not Outlook Express (Either way, the
solution should be the same)

Possible Cause: 
Mail Accounts properties is not set correctly.

Possible Solution:
1) Open Outlook
2) Select Tools->Accounts from the menu
3) Select the Mail Tab
4) You should see all the mail accounts you have there. Under the
"Type" heading, it should read "Mail" with a "default" in parenthesis
for the default mail account.
5) Select the mail account you want to make default and click the "Set
as Default" button on the right hand side.
6) That mail account should be default.
7) If not, reply back with your results and I'll suggest something else.
