POP3 Server name Corrupt
I am helping a driend with his new Dell computer. He can not get Email. If
I follow: Toolsaccountsmailpropertiesservers The POP3 sever name keeps being changed to 127.0.0.1 instead of "xxxconnect.net" I have been told this is a known problem with Norton AV and that I should disable scanning incoming and outgoing mail, BUT, we are using McAfee AV, which came installed. I disabled scanning but same problem. Suggestions please.

POP3 Server name Corrupt
An anti-spam program can cause this as well as e-mail scanning. FYI, my last
computer came with McAfee installed and the first thing I did was to remove it. I use, and recommend, AVG Free: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 or: http://www.grisoft.com/doc/40/lng/ww When prompted, choose Custom Installation and *uncheck* e-mail scanning when you see the option. Norton, and McAfee, products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I don't know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Martin" wrote in message ...
