I've noticed this behavior as well. Little frustrating with the HTC Home Plugin - mine does go to last viewed account. Seems pointless for the HTC Home Plugin to show me text vs. POP items that are new, seeing as how it doesn't open text or POP, just last.

Does mms show up in your account selector?
because it doesnt in mine, so when i tell it to show account selector, it doesnt...
Because the only account it has in there is outlook so it just uses that by default and bypasses the account screen... mms comes up in the folder selection of messaging, but not it the account selector...

I do not have MMS on my Mogul. So I guess if you only have one message account stup it just goes to that inbox.

On the note of the indicators in the HTC Plugin...
You can use a command line in shortcut folders to directly link to whatever inbox you want. I use RLToday and have my email and sms indicators both linked directly to the respective inboxes no matter what I was last using the messaging window for. I do not fiddle with the HTC Plugin so I do not know what kind of control you have over customizing the linking of the indicator buttons. Try searching up link to inbox with the htc plugin.

Has anyone ever figured this out? Before I updated my ROM, pressing the mail button in the Home Plugin took me directly to my Inbox just like I wanted it to - now it takes me to MMS. I would roll back to my old ROM (2.08.651.4) in a heartbeat if anyone had it but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help with this?

Yea... Just have your Outlook and your mms... Then just add another account, i just made my gmail account, and tell it to be manual email retrieval, and it will see two accounts and allow you to use the "account selector" screen... thats how i have it set, works well... (just make the account and dont use it, if anything, just make a fake one, wont matter either way)

If I'm understanding you correctly, that will only bring you to the account selector screen when you tap the email icon. I want it to go right to my Inbox when I tap that icon - I don't want to have to select an account. If that's the case, it's no different than it bringing me to the MMS account and clicking the right arrow on the Dpad to toggle over to my Inbox. I want to set it to default to my Inbox when I tap on it.

Well I just tried what divx recommended above and it actually accomplishes what I want! I created a dummy account and set it to only manually check for messages, made sure the "Display account picker..." option was unchecked, and tapped on the email icon - sure enough it went right to my Inbox! The way it works is that whatever account you most recently had open is the one that it goes to when you tap the email icon (it even works if you close Outlook completely using X-button). Basically, whatever account you last had open is what it will default to but it only works that way if you put an extra account in there. It's a roundabout way of doing it but at least it works and it's really not a big deal to have that dummy account in there (just make sure to set it to manual though). Thanks!!!
