Default Outlook Express Resets Incoming Mail Server (POP3) Every Reboot

Every time I shut down Windows XP and restart, Outlook Express for some
reason changes the IP address of the incoming mail server (POP3) to a dummy
address. I have to go in manually each time and change the incoming mail
server (POP3) address to the correct address for my 6 e-mail accounts with
two different internet service providers. These settings will remain no
matter how many times I open and close Outlook Express until the next time I
turn the computer off. When I restart, the bogus IP address for the
incoming mail servers (POP3) are back. It is the same bogus IP address for
both internet service providers.

Does anyone have any advice for how I can get the true IP addresses for the
incoming mail servers (POP3) to stick when I change them? The way I have
been doing it is to go into Tools-Accounts-Properties. Thanks.
