I'm trying to get rid of the following in Outlook Express that continues to
pop up on entry. I've tried unsubscribing every newsgroup without any
difference whatever.

Is there any way in getting rid of this message below?

Thanks


Michael

The host 'http' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly. Account: 'http', Server: 'http', Protocol: POP3,

Michael,

Google can be your friend in such cases, so have a try here --
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320759 -- if that is not the anwer, try
typing "The host 'http' could not be found" (without the quotes) into Google
and you will find that there are about 67,400,000 'hits' - and you should
find an answer amongst that lot!

Crossposted to OE General newsgroup.

Please define "on entry".

HTTP is not a host or account name.

Port 119 is used for most NNTP servers.

When exactly does this happen? More info needed.

Does 'http' actually look like a valid host name to you?

When the program starts, Outlook Express attempts to download
messages from a mail server at an invalid address. This is a
configuration problem with one of the mail accounts on your
computer. It has nothing to do with any newsgroup subscriptions.

The following steps should do the trick:

Open Outlook Express.
Click on Tools | Accounts...
Select the Mail tab.
Scroll down and select the mail account named "http".

Now you have two choices.

1. To remove the account completely, click on the Remove
option, or

2. To correct the address of mail server, click on Properties.
Check the data that has been entered under the General, Servers,
and Advanced tabs - and amend any incorrect details. You might
need to contact the mail service provider for that particular
account, to obtain the correct details for that particular mail
service. Alternatively, someone on this newsgroup might be able
to offer suggestions. If so, we would need to know the part of
the email address that follows the @ symbol (NOT your complete
email address). We might also require the name of your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
