I have several email accounts, work and personal. I want to use my gmail as the priority default account, but the software sets up a work account that I only use for work.
Thanks
Hi again:
If you mean primary when you send a new E-mail, I had the same problem. I cannot recall the details, but by deleting accounts from my Mail application and then adding them back, I finally got the program to send mail from my "primary" account as the default.

By chance I found the solution: Open the inbox folder (containing all your inboxes) and drag the inboxes in your preferred order.
It's very confusing - I expected this functionality in the preferences dialog.
