Outlook Express-Password keeps changing?

Everytime I access my emails, my server password on my incoming/outgoing keeps changing.

Incoming mail
Should be: mail.btininternet.com

But shows: localhost

    the localhost thing is probably related to your firewall, norton etc..
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • Yes, disable email scanning in your anti-virus program.

    Cheers,

    This may sound silly, but how do I find out which software I have got.
    I get updates on PC-CILLIN and BT YAHOO.
    Not sure which one is current.
    Anyway of finding out.

    Thanks
    paul
  • PC-Cillin has an icon which looks like a pill capsule, next to the clock. Double-click it, then click Anti-Virus, then Mail Scan. Review the incoming and outgoing email scan settings.
