Outlook Express

[mike]

I contunally get an icon error message in the lower right
hand cornor of my Outlook Express 6 screen. I called my
provider and they told me it was an Outlook Express
problem. To correct this error message I have to go to
tools, accounts, properties, server. The problem then is
my incoming mail is changed to local host from
direcway.com and my account name is my e-mail address and
it should only be corporal_5. I click on apply and this
corrects the problem for a while then it goes back to
local host etc. My provider told me to reload my Outlook
Express 6, but I can't find it. What do you think.

The localhost setting is probably being made by an antivirus program
that's configured to scan your incoming mail.
