Good point. Which is one of the reasons I retain a freeuk account. It does the job admirably. Though it wouldn't have done me much good yesterday as that required an email address associated with my ip address.

One thing to remember is that some of these services are incoming only - you still need to send via the NTL smtp servers (unless you have your own of course).

Yes, that's the thing I am trying to get away from. I want for the most part reliability. I want to know that as soon as someone sends me an email I am going to get it. This of course (under the present circumstances) requires NTL to have absolutely no part in the process other than providing me with a connection. If possible, I don't want my mail to even touch NTL's mailserver. I imagine this must be possibly somehow, looks like I have some investigating to do
Thanks for the replies. If anyone reading this has any idea how whilst using my NTL connection, I can avoid using NTL's mail server - I'd like to hear it please. Or for that matter if you have any experience of such a service I would like to hear about it.
Thanks again.
