That's caused by having an antivirus or antispam application scanning
incoming email. Disable any such option, reset the server names to the
appropriate names and be done with the problem. Any antivirus scanning of
email is a waste of time since if you keep the AV program updated and ever
attempt to open or save an infected file, you will be warned before being
allowed to do so. And some antispam programs can cause you to lose stored
messages (along with their antivirus compatriots) if you allow them to scan
incoming mail. Your choice.

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
