Mailserver name change problem

[Bob]

Everytime we launch Outlook Express the mailserver is
changed to "localhost" and the mailserver name is added to
our "user name" like this: "username/mailserver". I
change "localhost" to the actual mailserver name on
the "Incoming mail (POP3)" line and I
change "username/mailserver" to "username". Then I click
on "apply" and "OK" and close out all other dialog boxes.
When I click on the "Send/Receive" button on the top of
the Outlook Express window, it then allows me to receive
all e-mail. The problem is that I have to go through
these steps every time I launch Outlook Express. Any
suggestions. Thanks.

This isn't a group for Outlook Express but typically your problem is caused
by an Anti Virus email scanning product. One way to check is to temporarily
disable the Anti Virus, if this is the case I would contact the vendor web
site.
