I recently added a second email account and inadvertently set it as the default. I prefer to have my original account to be my default. How can I restore my original account as default ? I cannot find any way to reset in Account Settings where I originally set the default. I would appreciate any help with this problem.

At the bottom of the left pane of Account Settings is a button for Account Actions. Select the non-default account, then Account Actions, Set as Default.

Many thanks for your help. Selecting the account to make default before selecting Account Settings was the key.
