Default POP settings for gmail

I'm having a problem with the POP settings and the port settings remaining as
configured. Whenever I start the computer and open OLE, the gmail settlings
revert back to some number in the POP field, and some other port numbers. I
have to go into Tools and reset the pop field and default port settings each
time. This is getting annoyning. Please tell me there's an Easy Button to
fix this? PS - all setting in gmail itself are fine - followed the gmail
auto format and everything.

Disable email scanning by you anti virus software, it serves no useful
purpose and causes this sort of problem, some number in the POP field, -
127.0.0.1 by any chance?

Sorry - I spoke too fast.

This didn't fix the problem. OLE still reverts back to 127.0.0.1 in the pop
field, and the default ports for gmail only. Comcast and AOL work fine. I
use McAfee Security Center, and I've turned off the email virus scan and spam
killer.

I want to like Microsoft products, I REALLY do, but between general Windows
issues and specific OLE issues, it's a very trying experience (most likely
user error, I know). Any suggestions?
