Avast! – POP3 and SMTP settings 127.0.0.1

Hi,

It is a good thing that Avast is able to change those settings, for it couldn't then it will not be able to scan your e-mail messages. But it is not supposed to result into any problems with sending or receiving messages.

The following steps will help you resolve the issue that you are getting.

• First, you will need to exit Outlook Express.
• And then you will start the Mail Protection Wizard and then choose select "Automatically remove protection from all my accounts".
• After that you will start Outlook Express.
• In Outlook Express, you will need to check the server addresses as well as the user name. In case you don´t know the right values, you will need to contact your Internet Service Provider and inquire from them.
• After that you should close Outlook Express, and then Start Mail Protection Wizard again.
• Next you will choose "Set up the protection manually".
• And then choose "I don´t use MS Outlook…", and then follow the instructions.
• When everything is done, you can start Outlook Express again.
• Note that the addresses for POP and SMTP servers will be changed and your login name modified too, but that will not cause a problem.

Regards,

Carl
