I am having a problem with one of our computers using outlook express.
everytime it is switched on and you start outlook express it resets the pop
mail server to 127.0.0.1 when our pop mail server address is pointing to our
proxy server. I would like to know how i can sort the problem out. Any
solutions? thanx

Disable email scanning by your Anti Virus application.
It is not needed. it is an additional layer of protection that eats up
CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account
setting changes. Your AV program will
continue to protect you sufficiently as long as you keep it up to date.

You also might have to turn off your anti-spam program if you are using one.
