email's, it has been 2 weeks, now, verizon, doesn't have

OLEXP: Unable to Send or Receive Messages With Dr.
Solomon's NetGuard Installed
View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q195458
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to send or receive messages using
Outlook Express, you may receive any of the following
error messages:
The connection to the server has failed.
Account: '127.0.0.1',
Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 110, Secure
(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
-or-
The connection to the server has failed.
If you then view the Internet Accounts dialog box, you
may see a new news account and a new mail account both
named "127.0.0.1." These new accounts may now be
configured as your default mail and news accounts. If you
try to alter these settings, your changes may not be
saved, and the "Access the Internet using a proxy server"
setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer may automatically
be enabled when you restart your computer.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Dr. Solomon's Anti-Virus
Deluxe NetGuard program is installed on your computer and
is configured to monitor downloads from the Internet.
When you configure this program to monitor downloads, new
default mail and news accounts are created in Outlook
Express.
RESOLUTION
To best resolve this issue, use the steps contained in
the "Net Guard Troubleshooting Guide" for Dr. Solomon at
the following McAfee Web site:

As an alternative, you can work around this issue, by
restoring your original mail and news accounts as your
default accounts. To do so, follow these steps:
In Outlook Express, click Accounts on the Tools menu.
Click the Mail tab, click your original mail account, and
then click Set As Default.
Click the News tab, click your original news account,
click Set As Default, and then click Close.
Quit and then restart Outlook Express.

incoming mail server from 127.0.0.1 to the correct server
name.
Remove and retype your user name and password.
