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:

Every time I start Outlook Express my pop-server name is replaced by
127.0.0.1 I have to Accounts / Properties/Mail/ Servers and edit the
POP-3 Incoming Mail server name to receive mail. Anybody know what causes
this and how I can fix it?
