Setting just change ... Why ?

Hi ... I just did a reformat on my computer using windows
xp pro full install with all the windows updates ... I
when to set up my email accounts which wasn't a problem
but after a few days i notice in my outlook express the
setting has change ... The pop and smtp both where
127.0.0.1 also the user name wasn't correct too ....
what is 127.0.0.1 ??? and why did it change it to
that ??? Does anyone know ??? Thanks

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.
