Probs with outlook express

edited January 2007 in Chit chat
Everytime i turn on my pc i am unable to recieve emails !!!!!

I think i know what is happening but i don't know how to fix it.

The email account ( in Tools/Accounts/Properties/Servers ) where it says " Incoming mail ( POP3) " something keeps changing what should be there to 127.?.? i forget what the numbers after 127 are, i think it could be mcafee but i have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling mcafee but it still happens. i can still recieve my emails but avery time i switch the pc on i have to type in what should be where the 127 thing is and its getting to be a right pain i have only just reinstalled windows hoping to get rid of the problem :(

    The 127 number is probably 127.0.0.1 which is your PC (localhost)

    It sounds like you have spamkiller installed which works by downloading the emails to a virtual server on your pc before filtering out the spam and sending them to your outlook express.

    I don't use mcafee or outlook express, but there is a spamkiller userguide here http://www.flyingredslippers.org/mcafee/manuals/MSK_UserGuide_Sep04.pdf

    Thanks Foggy, yeah it was Spamkiller that caused the problem and after reading the link i have managed to fix it, although to be honest i don't really know how i did it :)
