POP3 setting changing

My sister has a BT Internet and her pop3 setting is mail.btinterrnet.com. This works fine, but everytime she re-boots her computer the setting changes to 127.0.0.1 and stops downloading mail. Anyone else had this problem?
 
Does your sister have Norton (or similar) installed?

If so you may want to look in that direction first.
 
I think some Anti-spam software progs also change the Pop/smtp/imap server addresses.

Just an update - it turned out to be BT/Yahoo introducing a spam filter that caused the problem, it was during the changeover. All is correct now and the POP3 is showing 127.0.0.1
 
BTOpenworld e-mail problem

Hey guys,

My friend is with BTOpenworld and I have been trying to help her with a problem - she keeps getting the same 5 e-mails over and over again and not the other 17 - i.e. it says 5 of 23 and never retrieves the others.

I've checked this forum and no one else is reporting this. BT's website says that the last problem they had with their servers was on April 30 which was resolved - this is when my friends problems started - do you think there is a connection?

She managed to retrieve the 23 e-mails by accessing her e-mail via webmail instead of OE (she has version 6, 2004) and thought that the problem was resolved but is now back to square 1 with OE with it downloading 5 of 23 again.

Anyone got any advise? and what is the POP3 authentication stuff about that has been mentioned on this forum?

Thanks,
Aitch
