Do you use Norton anti-virus?

Do a System Restore to about December 29th, and turn off Norton's
Inbound and Outbound email scanning. Then go get a non-bloatware a-v
program. Ex: Avast and AVG are free.

What do you have as your incoming e-mail server in your e-mail client.
Looks like it is resolving to your local PC ('127.0.0.1') rather than
the correct server.
