Default Issues with Outlook express

Your Anti-virus (or anti-spam) software changes the POP3 server name to
127.0.0.1 in order to scan the e-mail as it downloads. If this prevents
you from downloading mail, then that software is malfunctioning. Check
with that software manufacturer for update or configuration help, or
disable that software from scanning e-mail.

As long as your anti-virus software is set to scan files as they are
opened, scanning e-mail as it downloads or sends is unnecessary and
prone to problems.

With some anti-virus (and anti-spam) programs, simply disabling the
e-mail scanning function doesn't really disable it. It simply tells the
program not to flag any messages. It still processes all the messages
and may still cause send/receive failures. What you may need to do is
uninstall the anti-virus program, then reinstall it using a custom
install option and unselect the e-mail scanning component for
installation.

When I open my outlook express everyday I get the error message saying

"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for
this inclue server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'pop.gmail.com(1)', Server:
'127.0.01',protocol:POP3,
Port: 110, Secure(ssl): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F."

After that I go in and change my mails server to pop.gmail.com

Then I get an error message of

"The connection to the server has failed. Account:'pop.gmail.com (1)',
Server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port:110, Secure(SSL): Yes,
Socket
Error: 10060, Error Number:0x800CCC0E"

When I get that I go in and change the server numbers. I have to do
this
every day, the changes are not saving, is there anyway to fix this
permanently?

Thank you in advance for the help!
