Help, please!
Can anyone tell me why, when I receive an email, my incoming email (POP 3) setting changes to 127.0.0.1?
On the latter setting I receive no more mail until I change it back to what it should be. I am tired of constantly changing it and feel there must be an explanation as to what has gone wrong and whether it can be put right. Has anyone any ideas?

Thank you, fender62. Whether I can do what you suggest remains to be seen but I'll see what happens. Thanks again.

I suspect you are a lot more knowledgeable than I am (which would not be difficult!).
I have McAfee Security and have tried to check the settings on the SpamKiller element. But they seem OK.
It looks as if I am stuck with constantly altering the Incoming Mail setting. Thanks anyway for your interest.
I had nightmares with this (using gmail & spamkiller). The only way I could get it working was to disable spamkiler completely.

Thank you, Hammer, that was interesting. I didn't know anyone else had experienced this problem. But I am now wondering if I have at last solved it! I have today received 5 emails and the incoming mail settings have so far not changed (and that is after disenabling virus scanning of emails - but leaving auto scanning "on"). So "fingers crossed" !
