Sounds like antivirus or antispam software is interfering. Disable any
antispam software and disable email scanning of the antivirus software. See

Ever since I set up my new computer I have had to change the default
settings every time I log in after computer has been turned off. I have to
go to - Tools| Accounts| Mail| Properties| Servers - and change the
Incoming Mail (POP3) from the IP address "xx.xxx.xxx" to the
"mail.xxxx.net" if I don't do it, I can't gain access to my emails. Also
my "Account Name" needs to be changed from to "name" or I
can't get my emails. The Outgoing Server does not change.

I copied the setup from my old computer and looked it over several times
for any inconsistencies but I can't find any differences. The password
does not change, I have tired checking and unchecking every box and still
no change. I tried deleting the account and setting up from scratch with
no luck.

I need help, I'm getting tired of going through this exercise.

Thanks in advance, Dan O
