I have Time Warner Roadrunner internet service and use a Bellsouth e-mail
address, which I access through Outlook Express. Every time I reboot, the
Incoming server is changed from the one for Bellsouth to a bunch of numbers.
Is this being done by Roadrunner? How do I prevent this change?

Numbers like: 127.0.0.1? That 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, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program
and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option
arises.

What Bruce said.

Are you also a Bellsouth subscriber (e.g., dial-up or DSL)?
