I have an POP3 account and configured in Outlook 2003. When ever i am opening the outlook its pop3 server name is automatically changing as "Localhost". Each and every time when i am restarting the PC i need to change the POP3 server name.

anybody can help me with an advise.

Some older anti-viruses set up a proxy server to check outbound emails for viruses.

The other alternative may be a virus or trojan. Have you run a full check of your computer?

This problem has been rectified. The computer is having Spyware. Due to spyware its changing the POP3 mailing Server name to Localhost. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi, IF your email server keeps being replaced by "Localhost" its usually because you have an antispam or similar program that connects to outlook. The most common program to do this is Webroots spam shredder, but ive also known mcaffee antispam do the same. you need to remove this program and replace with one that integrates into outlook instead, like Spam Fighter. Hope this helps
