I have Outlook 2000 on a Windows Me PC and it is set up for POP3 access only
The problem that I have is that when I set up an account it all works OK
until I reboot the PC.
If I close Outlook and go straight back in everything is fine. However if I
shut down and restart the following changes always happen. (The problem
occurs with both Out look 2000 and Outlook Express 6.)

1. The POP3 host name reverts to "localhost"
2. The user name changes from (e-mail address removed) to (e-mail address removed)\www.host.com

It is strange that simply restarting outlook does not effect it. But
restarting the PC causes this effect.

Has anyone got ideas on how to fix this?
