Default 2003 SP2: Email Account Details Lost/Not Change on Outlook Restart

If I delete or change details of an e-mail account setup [using ToolsEmail
Accounts... View of change existing e-mail account Next select account
Delete or using ToolsEmail Accounts... View of change existing e-mail

account Next select account Change and then change, say the Outgoing
main server (SMTP):, or any other detail Next Finish] the new setup works
just fine...

UNTIL...

I shut down and restart Outlook (without a reboot) or shutdown the computer
and reboot.

When Outlook restarts the orginal e-mail account settings are back to the
old settings [eg the deleted account has returned or the changed smtp address
has reverted to the previous setting] and all the changes are lost.

This is a real nuisance because my SMTP server changed some time ago and
every time I restart Outlook I have to go into the e-mail account setting to
correct them before trying to send any e-mails.

A fix for this problem will really be appreciated.
