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.

This is being caused by your anti virus software, disable the section of it
ONLY that scans incoming and outgoing mail, it serves no useful purpose.
Spam filtering programs have been known to cause it also.
