outlook express setup

[neal]

Help. Outlook Express automatically changes the logon
setup I enter. I enter the server logon information for
incoming mail, click apply, then exit the program. Then I
start Outlook Express and check the properties of my mail
account. The server information for incoming mail now
reads "localhost",I orginally
entered "pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com", and the information I
entered has been appended to the incoming mail server
account name. What gives? I cannot read mail anymore.
I use Internet Explorer 6 and XP.

Thanks

Neal

This is caused by a firewall...

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:

No, it's caused by Email scanning with an AV program
