Trying to change the default email account from one email to another and the new email account that I want to use as the default is grayed out. How do I fix this?

That indicates that TB thinks it is the default account. What causes you to think that it is not?

What do you mean with "it's greyed out"?

When I highlight this email address and click on Settings>Account settings>Set as Default. Set as Default is grayed out so I can't set this email to default.

How many accounts are there? Is the default option greyed out on the others?

This is the only account that is grayed out. The others are not.

Got it thanks. I did not initially set it up this way. I had another account that was the default.
