outlook express question
 

for some reason my outlook express set the incoming mail server for all my account to localhost. Anyone know what could be up? this is with a new computer that i've switched all my email to yesterday. was working fine up until now, i've switched them all back but i don't want it to keep happening. :helpme

Are you using an anti-virus software like PC-Cillin? If so then what happens is outlook express sets the POP3 server to localhost to point to your anti-virus software. The anti-virus software then checks the e-mail for virii and passes it back to your outlook express. It sits in the middle to ensure you don't get virus infected e-mail.

Hope this helps.
