Yes, the use default icon option means use MW's default mail icon, uncheck it and click save to see the Outlook icon....

I understand Junkman's confusion. He is not the first to encounter this issue.

He has set the "default email" in MW to Outlook. So when the option, "Use default email program icon" is checked, one could easily assume that now means to use Outlook's icon since Outlook is now the default.

I think to avoid future confusion, the wording in the "Wash Mail Settings" menu in MailWasher should be changed to "Use MailWasher's default email icon". That makes it more intuitive so when checked, it is obvious MailWasher's icon will be used.
