Why does my outlook express email account change the outgoing server to 127.0.0.1 everytime i turn computerOff

I don't know but the address 127.0.0.1 is a loopback address.  Typically it's used to test to see if a network card is working but some people use host files to redirect themselves away from bad sites (like spyware sites - it works by keeping up a list of bad sites and matching them to the loopback address instead of their IP address).\n\nI guess it's possible that you have a program or a batch file or a firewall or anti virus file around that keeps changing your smtp server.

You don't say what you are using as your email client. Is it Outlook Express, Outlook or are you using Web Mail (i.e. mail on a web site)? \n\nAlso, which update was the most recent? Check this by going to the Microsoft Update site and looking at your Update History. Look at the notes for the most recent updates to see what they do. \n\nThere may be information to show you how to change your settings.

If running Outlook connected to an Exchange server this is very easy. If on something like Yahoo then you would have to have them do a restore and that's not going ot happen.

Most email clients has option to see headers where you can see the IP address of the sender, but this does not lead directly to to exact pc where the email came out from, it may lead you back to the proxy server...ISP...etc

Is Outlook being set up to connect to an email server from your ISP?  If it is, you should be able to find support documents on their web site about the proper server names to use.  \n\nPOP3 servers download all mail from the server and move them to your local Outlook application.  IMAP servers allow mail to be read from the server and stored on the server.  SMTP servers are standard outgoing mail servers that use standardized commands to connect to destination mail servers and deliver messages.\n\nAs I said, there is no way to know off-hand what the proper server names are for a given email provider.  This information would have to be included in some sort of support document.

I had the same problem with mine. Well, it should be the same as the comcast.net - where you choose POP 3 then get the incoming and outgoing server... on comcast it was mail.comcast.net (incoming) and then smtp.comcast.net (outgoing). Try replacing the comcast.net with yahoo.com otherwise, you have to use the main internet server you got at home.

Go to your internet servers website and they will give you step by step instructions on how to set your e mail account up. Your outgoing mail isnt set right. You need to know what their smtp is. you can then open outlook, tools, accounts, mail, properties, server and manually type this info in the smtp box.

1. Open up Outlook Express\n2. Click Tools at the top of your screen, then Accounts\n3. Click "Add" then "Mail"\n4. Follow the wizard\n5. When it comes to the "Email Server Names", "My Incoming mail server is" set it to POP3\n6. Incoming Mail as: pop.mail.yahoo.com\n7. Outgoing Mail as: smtp.mail.yahoo.com\n\n\nThese are only enabled if you have paid for Yahoo's Premium Mail service.

You may need to make some adjustments to your e-mail account.  If using Outlook Express, go to Tools-->Accounts and under the "Mail" tab, select your e-mail account and click the "properties" button.  Once there, select the "servers" tab, and at the bottom the the pop up box there will be a "My server requires authentication" area.  Make sure the box is checked beside this, then click the "settings" button beside that area, and make sure to check off "Use the same settings as my incoming mail server.'  \n\nTo send e-mail, most servers require you to authenticate them and use the same settings as your incoming mail.

Troubleshooting Outlook Express Error 0x800ccc90\n \nSymptom\nThere was a problem logging onto your mail server.\n\n    * Your Password was rejected. Account: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Server: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user or password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90,\n    * Error Number: 0x800CCC92 \n\nSolution\nThe first step is to check your Outlook Express settings, making sure that the POP3 and SMTP servers are as in the screenshots, and that your full user name and password are correct.\n\nThen test your connection by following this procedure.\n\n    * Click the Start button then RUN type in cmd on (Windows NT/2000/XP) or Command (Windows 95/98/ME). This will open a new command prompt window, with white text on a black screen.\n    * Type in the following exactly as it appears. You will not see what you are entering so take it slowly, and if you make a mistake, start again.\n      telnet pop.tiscali.co.uk 110 and then click the Enter key on your keyboard. You will then be connected to the email server.\n    * Type in USER followed by your email address e.g. USER jo_blog@tiscali.co.uk and then click the Enter key. You will then get a message +OK Please enter your pass, with the PASS command\n    * Type in PASS followed by your password e.g. PASS joblog0370 and click the Enter key. If it is correct, you will get an OK Well done message.\n    * If you can do this, you have connected to the Tiscali server and so the problem lies somewhere with Outlook Express.\n\nIf you can't get in this way either, it could be that your password has somehow become corrupted. Try changing it in My Account. Try again.\nIf this doesn't work, it may be that TCP/IP has somehow become corrupted within Windows. So try reinstalling TCP/IP. To do this\n\n    * Click Start\n    * Settings\n    * Control Panel\n    * Network connections\n    * Right click your connection and click Properties\n    * Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Uninstall \n\nThen close down your PC and open it up again.\n\n    * Follow the same steps as above, but instead of clicking Uninstall click Install.\n    * On the screen which appears, click Protocol and then Add\n    * Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then OK (You may be prompted for your Windows installation disk at this point. \n\nIf you run Windows XP, the process is slight different. You need to\n\n    * Click Start\n    * Run\n    * Then type in Command\n    * In the screen which appears, type in netsh int ip reset c:&#92;resetlog.txt \n\nIf you're still having problems, it could be that Outlook Express is itself corrupt. Microsoft's Instructions on how to delete it and reinstall it, along with making a backup of your address books etc, are located here for Windows 95, 98, and ME and here for Windows 2000.

This is a very vague question.\nThe answer is dependant on which brand/version of mail server that you are responsible for administering.\n\nI guess the best answer would be to read your documentation, or provide more information to your question

To answer your question, you download it, install it, and set it up.. but I suspect this is not your problem.\n\nPlease edit your question and let us know what your problem is.(using it, setting it up, etc)\n\nTo set up a mail client you must first set up 2 things..\n\nfor instance your "incoming address" is going to be mail.yourisp.net or.com   eg. mail.comcast.net\n\nyour outgoing mail is similar but smtp.comcast.net(for example)..\n\nyour outgoing is always(from a home computer) smtp.something.net or.com\n\nthis stands for send mail transfer protocol.
