| Hi Ken,
|
| Thanks for your help.
|
| I had already tried that one, but it still changed back to 127.0.0.1. when
I
| restarted the computer.
|
| However, the following advice from Bruce sorted it out:
|
| "This is usually caused by scanning e-mail, or an anti-spam program.
Perhaps
| Orange was just a coincidence.
|
| 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:

| Kind regards,

| Hi Jeff,
|
| You might try creating a new identity, set up your mail account info,
does
| it's settings stay?
|
| By the way, in the new identity account, select the advance tab and
check
| "leave copy of messages on server". As this is a test, you want to leave
| the
| messages on the server.
|
| Post back results.

| | Hi,
| |
| | I recently viewed an Orange promotion on disc for internet access.
| |
| | It was not suitable for me and so I did not sign up.
| |
| | Since viewing the disc my incoming mail settings in Accounts has been
| change
| | from mail.virgin.net to 127.0.0.1.
| |
| | No matter how many times I delete and change it the setting reverts
back
| to
| | 127.0.0.1.
| |
| | I am told this is probably due to a code from the Orange promotion
disc.
| |
| | Can you anyone advise me how to change back to mail.virgin.net
| permanently?
| |
| | I use Windows XP
| |
| | Kind regards,
| |
