It is some third party program that you have that is causing this. Anything
else besides McAfee?

No the McAfee programs are turned off and remain off. There are no other
ways
to correct OE from redirecting the POP server address?

Doesn't McAfee turn itself back on when you reboot? It used to. That

the two worst programs you can have that are associated with Outlook
Express
are those made by Norton and McAfee.

I use, and recommend, AVG Free:

or:

When prompted, choose Custom Installation and *uncheck* e-mail scanning
when
you see the option.

Norton, and McAfee, products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I
don't
know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them.

Other than that, it has to be caused by a program somewhere on your
machine
that touches OE.

This did not work. I turned off McAfee Virus scan as well as McAfee
Spam
Killer. Made appropriate changes to email server accounts and logged
off
the
computer. Logged back on, verified that virus scan and spamkiller were
still
off and signed on to OE. POP server reverted to 127.0.0.1.

This is usually caused by scanning e-mail, or an anti-spam program.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such
as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program
will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

I am using Outlook Express 6.0 to manage my yahoo small business
email
acct.
Every time I reboot, the settings for the POP3 incoming mail server
change
from pop.bizmail.yahoo.com to 127.0.0.1. This happens with nothing
else
being
touched. Please advise.

thanks!
