Hi CR,
That (127.0.0.1) is the local machine. The change is a result of using the message scan feature of your anti-virus program. A message is scanned before being delivered to Outlook Express. Start by disabling message scanning. Confirm that the correct server names are in the mail accounts properties. Try sending and receiving. In some cases it is necessary to re-enter the server names, your user name and password. You can try re-enabling the message scan, but your PC will still be protected if not used. If you have both outgoing and incoming message scanning try using only incoming. -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MVP - (IE/OE) Lynnwood, WA * "CouchRocker" wrote in message ... Hi ...
