anyone seen this before?
 

when i reboot and go into outlook, all my server settings have been changed.

the incoming mail (pop3) is changed to "localhost"

the account name is changed to <my real account name>/<pop3 setting>


example:


----------------------------------------------
incoming mail (pop3) white.oxeo.com
outgoing mail (smtp) white.oxeo.com

incoming mail server
account name : natas
password : *****
----------------------------------------------

gets changed to --------->


----------------------------------------------
incoming mail (pop3) localhost
outgoing mail (smtp) white.oxeo.com

incoming mail server
account name : natas/white.oxeo.com
password : *****
----------------------------------------------


never seen this before - what gives anyone?

What OS?

jDoG

as a matter of fact I did see this happen many many times

Did you recently install an Anti-Virus ? Maybe..Norton AV ? I know this software does exactly what you described. It changes many settings, which also include re-setting Outlook to localhost.

tell me if this helped!

cheers

good one sheken, yeah i put pc-illian or whatever its called on just tonight, trying to get rid of another virus thing problem i had earlier today.

It's sorted the other problem, but now this.

jeez :BangBang:

Did you by chance install Nortaon Antivirus email protection?

nope....see 2 posts up :)

I know it's not PC-Chillan because that's what I have. I remember having this problem with a certain networking add on, but don't quite remember. Let me think about this for a sec!
