What are you using for anti virus software? Many of these
packages change the email pop3 pop server to localhost
then add to your user ID the pop server. You have to turn
off the email scan feature if this happens. Or change it
back to the correct pop address and the user ID back to
what it should be. This happens with Outlook 2002 and
2002. I have not seen it happen to Outlook 2003 yet.
