Localhost

Hi

I have a pop3 mailbox in Outlook.

Sometimes server for ingoing messages changes from "mail.myemail.com" to
"localhost". Normally it do not matter, but sometimes I can't get my email.
When I change back localhost to mail.myemail.com and remove
/mail.nyemail.com from accountname, it works again...

I think it has something to do with IP adresses or DNS, but I am not sure.

What to do....

Regards

Birger Madsen

This might be due to installation of an antivirus or antispam tool that downloads messages locally to its own POP server.

Either DNS / WINS or even your Hosts file
c:\$Windir$\system32\drivers\etc

check ya hosts first.
