Outlook changes mail server and username
I set up my email account in Outlook using:
mail server = mail.server.net user name = myusername and it works perfectly. A short time later, Outlook is unable to connect to my mail server. I open the account settings, and Outlook has changed: mail server = 127.0.0.1 user name = myusername/mail.server.net When I manually change the mail server and username back to the original settings, Outlook again works perfectly. I have to fix the settings several times a day. Why is Outlook changing these settings and how do I disable Outlook from doing this? |

Outlook changes mail server and username
Outlook isn't changing the settings. You have a 3rd party security
(antivirus) program that is changing this in order to scan POP3 e-mail as it is downloaded. The only way to make it stop is disable this feature in your security program.

Thank you Neo. I turned off Trend Micro's POP email scanning function and the
problem went away. |

Yes, but what if you prefer to have your AV program do its job? Is there a
way to avoid this problem without disabling the POP scanning? "The Manai''a" wrote: Thank you Neo. I turned off Trend Micro's POP email scanning function and the problem went away. |

... Yes, but what if you prefer to have your AV program do its job? It will still do its job even without the mail scanning. Is there a way to avoid this problem without disabling the POP scanning? Maybe. Does your AV program insert a "this message has been checked" announcement in the messages you receive? This could be the source of the problem, if so. Disable that certification and it may work without interfering. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
