I use a cyrix 233mhz system with win98se operating system,
IE6 version 6.00.2600.0000.

In the outlook express I have set for each of my accounts
the server information in respect of incoming and outgoing
mail servers say 202.54.6.35 and 202.54.6.35 respectively.
On the next day, When I start the OE to see my mails, I get
an error message. When I go into the
tools/accounts/properties, I
find the entries in respect of the incoming mail server is
changed
from "202.54.6.35" to "localhost" and my account name is
appended with the incoming mailserver code(202.54.6.35)I
had given earlier.

Every day I have to change the settings to download my mail.
I don't know what changes I have to make to avoid this.
Can any one help me?

I'm not sure if this is your problem or not, but try entering a user name and password when you boot Windows. With some applications, Windows is unable to store individual settings unless you use a username and password (even if that password is blank). Setting up a user name allows you to establish an individual profile and therefore allows some applications to save your individual settings. Again, I'm not sure if this applies to Outlook Express or not, but it would be my number one guess.

Check to see if you have Norton Antivirus running. It's e-mail protection changes the settings within OE so that it can scan your e-mails for viruses.

To correct, you will need to turn off scanning of incoming e-mails.
