POP Server reverts to different IP address on its own.
 

I am using Outlook Express 6.0 to manage my yahoo small business email acct.
Every time I reboot, the settings for the POP3 incoming mail server change
from pop.bizmail.yahoo.com to 127.0.0.1. This happens with nothing else being
touched. Please advise.

thanks!

POP Server reverts to different IP address on its own.
 

This is usually caused by scanning e-mail, or an anti-spam program.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

This did not work. I turned off McAfee Virus scan as well as McAfee Spam
Killer. Made appropriate changes to email server accounts and logged off the
computer. Logged back on, verified that virus scan and spamkiller were still
off and signed on to OE. POP server reverted to 127.0.0.1.

Doesn't McAfee turn itself back on when you reboot? It used to. That said,
the two worst programs you can have that are associated with Outlook Express
are those made by Norton and McAfee.

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.

Other than that, it has to be caused by a program somewhere on your machine
that touches OE.

No the McAfee programs are turned off and remain off. There are no other ways
to correct OE from redirecting the POP server address?

It is some third party program that you have that is causing this. Anything
else besides McAfee?
