Default e-mail in Outlook 2010

I changed my e-mail from Inbox.com to AOL. I use MS Outlook 2010 and it has my old Inbox.com as the default. It won't let me delete it and make the AOL account the default. Any suggestions? I actually deleted out Outlook and re-installed it but when I opened it it was just the way it was,contacts and all. What can I try next? Inbox.com says the program cannot be deleted but it will delete itself after 90 days of not logging in.

You should be able to go into Account Setting and make AOL the default...

Note that if and when you delete the other account it will probably delete ALL of the mail and mail folders too..So move the mail to the AOL folders if you want to keep the mail.

It will not let me delete the default account. I deleted & re-installed Outlook 2010,ran registry cleaner,and when I re-installed it ,it was right back to where it was. I need to find how to get it back to the way it was out of the box with no files. If it thinks it's being run for the first time I can set up the proper e-mail account.
