I am having an issue with Outlook 2019 on Windows 10 where the POP3 settings are automatically populating with previous hosting server provider email server names. Whenever I try to type in a new server name, it completes the process and then reverts back to the previous servers. My hosting company says it's an Outlook problem, but I believe Outlook is grabbing the server names from somewhere else. Can anyone help me figure out where these server names are coming from?

UPDATE: The Plot Thickens! Outlook 2019 Account Information / Account Settings / Repair shows the OLD server settings however Account Information / Account Settings / Server Settings shows the current (correct) email server settings I provided in Repair. This tells me that Outlook 2019 stores server names, OR I'd relish finding out what registry edit is necessary to correct this issue. Help, Cecil help!
