I have moved to virginmedia, they now tell me that they do not support
outlook only express, as I have always used outlook I do not want to change,
they gave me to pop3 and smtp address and port numbers but they do not appear
to work, still getting emails comming in but cannot send, can anyone help?
 
The outlook settings are the same as those used for Outlook Express, you
dont need to modify port #
If you run the test accounts option it should generate a err msg if there is
a problem.
