Your Anti-virus (or anti-spam) software changes the POP3 server name to
127.0.0.1 in order to scan the e-mail as it downloads. If this prevents
you from downloading mail, then that software is malfunctioning. Check
with that software manufacturer for update or configuration help, or
disable that software from scanning e-mail.

As long as your anti-virus software is set to scan files as they are
opened, scanning e-mail as it downloads or sends is unnecessary and
prone to problems.

To manually change the POP3 server in Outlook Express, go to Tools,
Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers.

Http account ?
- these typically do not use pop3, port 110, or SSL
Free or fee(e.g. Hotmail, Msn, Yahoo, etc)

I'll agree with Michael, although I don't understaqnd why you named an
account HTTP and set it to POP3.
