Outlook show localhost for server requires password now

[Tip]

Outlook keeps changing pop3 address to local host and now
requires me to supply password to retrieve mail every time
it quiries server. This seems to be a recent change and I
am unable to change this. I have always been able to leave
email on in the background, now the password popup
interferes with other activities. Does anyone have a
solution to this?

I'm going to guess that you recently installed some kind of anti-virus
e-mail scanner like Symantec? If so, that's normal - though it should have
a way to save the password.

Which version of Outlook are you using and did you, in fact, add the
anti-virus scanner?
