Incoming Mail

[Ed]

When I open outlook after booting up my computer, the
incoming mail address under servers in my account info
has reset to localhost from what should be a
pop3.server.net address. My account name also adds
a "/local host" after my name. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Uncheck the mail scanning option of your anti-virus.

This is the good old anti-virus, what Milly has stated is correct but you
will need to remove the account from outlook and re-add it for the servers
not change to local host again!!!
