1) I use gmail in addition to the ntl accounts and my email client (kontact - I use Linux) just pulls everything into one inbox. It also then removes them from the remote inbox.

2) GMail uses encrypted links to the email client so less chance for snooping, other than past GMail and Google themselves.

3) I have a domain and the registrar lets me specify email redirects by user, with upto 3 forward addresses per emain name. I'm sorely tempted to forward all my emails to GMail.

4) If you do you GMail then you can still send emails when not on ntl's network. You do need to authenticate you to SMTP which isn't needed with ntl's as they only let people on their network send.
