You are using Norton Anti Virus, aren't you? (Or some other Anti
Virus programme which does the same...) This programme is
constantly changing your pop3 settings. It changes the server to
localhost, so it can download the mail, check it and then deliver
it to your mail programme(s). But now, the original pop3 server
has to be remembered, so it is appended to the user name. When
fetching mail, Norton AV strips the server information from your
user and then uses this server, user and your password to retrieve
your mail.

The reason why TB! keeps your settings is simple: Norton AV can't
change your TB! settings automatically, it is not one of the
known programmes for Norton AV.

If the problem with Norton AV appears again, you can also disable
Norton's pop3 proxy abilities. Just right-click on its tray icon,
open it and in 'Email status' deselect your account(s).
