Wow!
Nice find, mikeeey-h!

Could one of the friendly TS crew confirm if SMTP authentication is available on the virginmedia and ntlworld smtp servers as well as blueyonder?

Good question ceedee!

Nice one Mikeeey-h. Hopefully it has been good for someone but it didn't work for me. I tried to speak to someone at Virgin media but it was acomplete waste of time!!!

They either don't listen, don't understand what you are saying or just want you to upgrade, or all of the above. Is there anywhere I can phone in UK!!

It is part of OE and does work on blueyonder and should work the same on ntlworld accounts.

Usually if you have a problem with a OE account from Virgin which you know is working in webmail because you know the password, the best thing to do is go to tools>accounts then highlight the account that is at fault click on remove when it is gone click on add and re enter all details and it should work.
It is always better to do a clean install than mess around with settings and it saves time.

I don't know if this thread is still relevant, I came across it while searching for the solution to the same problem.
I found this while searching the three site, (link) : -
http://www.three.co.uk/personal/help...a_question.omp

click on "Using Mobile Broadband" then the link to "Using email"

Basically it requires that you simply change the Outgoing mail (SMTP) field to smtp-mbb.three.co.uk
I tried it and it works for me.
