email configuration keeps changing?

[Darnell Barber]

Hello I wrote here before when my passwords needed to be constantly put in.
I would hit the save password option but each time I restarted my Outlook
2002 same
problem.

Now, somehow my spot where I place my pop or smtp option keeps being
replaced with local host. It also keeps adding additional text to my user
name.

Considering the other problem was somekind of registry
glitch. I assume this is also. But ofcourse I have no idea
where to go.

Just from what it keeps saying in my pop section localhost I believe it
has something to do with this
yahoopop program that I add and since have removed.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I have no answers (at this time). I just have the same problem and I am
really interrested by a solution. Anyway, I can say that yahoopop is
perhaps not involved in the problem because I have never installed
anything from yahoo and I have configured my accounts manually. I have
Outlook 2000 SP3 on Windows XP SP1.

Thanks in advance

I have an answer. The problem come from the firewall. To check mail, the
firewall (PC-Cillin for me) register himself as a mail server and force
outlook to request mail services to him (modify the configuration to the
mail server on localhost so your machine). The firewall is the one which
communicate to your provider and everything's fine.

When there is a problem with the firewall that prevent it to provide mail
service (expiration, bad re-installation, un-installation, restore, bad
configuration, ...), it still modify the configuration but it is no more
able to provice services so you can't receive or send mail anymore.

I just have remove the pop checking in the firewall (expired anyway) and
the account configuration have been modified anymore. My problem is
solved.

Have a good mail
