I have the same problem. Is there an answer?

That's an anti-virus (or Anti-Spam) software issue. It changes the POP3
server name to "localhost", "127.0.0.1", or "pop3.norton.antivirus" in order
to scan the e-mail as it downloads. If this prevents you from downloading
mail, then the anti-virus software is malfunctioning. Check with the
anti-virus software manufacturer for update or configuration help, or
disable the anti-virus software from scanning e-mail.
