Hi Bluefish49,

The account is not configured correctly. Compare the server name given in
the error message with the server name for the account. The name might have
been changed by a 3rd-party spam or virus filtering (message scan) feature.
Disable such filtering (if in use) and change the name for the POP3
(Incoming) server, then check to see if mail can be received. Normal
anti-virus system scan will still fully protect a PC without message scan
enabled.
