From the error message, this is not your server:

Server: '127.0.0.1',

The accounts settings are being changed by either your spam program, e-mail
scanning or both.

1: Disable your spam program.

2: Turn off e-mail scanning.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program
and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option
arises.

3: Go to Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Servers and change the
settings to the correct ones.

Cry for help left from the MSNews.com but no other message from
OE will transmit and Outgoing Msgs reside (unsent) in Outbox.
This non-tech user really confused.
