Outlook express Problem

shahab6 · 04-10-2006, 10:49 AM

For some reason everytime I set-up my server info on outlook, and everytime I restart my computer, the server info changes. Anyone have any idea why.

I'm trying to remember back, but could it possibly be as simple as Saving the settings as opposed to just Applying the settings?

I most definatley don't mean to insult you, but typically stuff like this is the simple things we over look.

Sometimes antivirus software will hijack your e-mail settings in order to scan e-mail as it arrives. What are the settings being changed to?

Thanks a lot, that was the reason why it was not working. I been trying to figure this out for weeks.

I used McAfee for a bit along with Mozilla Thunderbird without any problems. I would strongly switching over to Thunderbird from Outlook, course I am a Mozilla fanboy. lol

Sorry for hyjacking

Whats the advantages over Thunderbird over Outlook other than it's Mozilla and not Microsoft?
