Just because VirginMedia doesn't "support" OL doesn't mean that you can't
use OL to access your account. OL and Vista couldn't care less what
VirginMedia supports: If it's a POP3 account, it can be accessed in OL and
OE.

Using Vista SP1, IE7 and Outlook Pro 2007
I have just changed ISP (mainly because the line speed - I was paying for
'up to 8MB/Sec' - was regularly running at between 5 and 15 KB/Sec) to a
cable supplier, VirginMedia, with a maximum speed of 'up to 20 MB/Sec'
(for
a similar price). So far I have had up to 3 MB/Sec, but this could be down
to problems with IE7. But, hey, this is a lot better than 15 KB/Sec !!!!
However, a slight problem! VirginMedia won't support Outlook (although
they
do Outlook Express), whilst their own mail program is pretty basic and
'naff' looking. Before the change, I had all my mail coming into Outlook
(much better looking and more professional) with no problems. So, having
made the change in supplier, I input the POP and SMTP settings for Outlook
Express into Outlook - and now can send from there, but not receive any
mail in there. The error message I get is that the server does not
recognise the username and / or password (both of which are definitely
correct).
Is there a difference - generally speaking - for the POP and SMTP settings
for OE and Outlook - and can anyone suggest a work-around? (Current
settings
'popntlworld.com' and 'smtp.ntlworld.com').
