Every time I open Outlook Express it connects up to the designated POP3
incoming mail server and does download all emails waiting BUT at the end

of
the send/receive process the incoming mail server setting (the outgoing

SMTP
server setting is fine) is overwritten with 127.0.0.1 which is the PCs
loopback address. The next time I want to receive emails all that happens

is
my PC assumes it is the incoming mail server to try and find new mail.
Each time I have to access the Tools Accounts Servers and set the
incoming mail server back to its correct setting.
Does anyone have any idea as to why/how this is happening?

Hugo.
