Open outlook
On menu bar click tools > account settings

Click new > ensure radio button says microsoft exchange, pop3, IMAP or HTTP

Then click next

Fill in your name (hopefully this is the easy part)

Fill in your full email address e.g Joe.bloggs@yourisp.com (for ntl = Joe.bloggs@ntlworld.com)

enter your password
reenter your password

If you love microsoft click next

If the love is not there, tick manually configure and then click next

click next again

First 3 boxes are filled in correctly

under incoming mail server type pop3.isp.com (where isp could equal ntlworld, virginmedia or equivalent)

Under outgoing mail server type smtp.isp.com (where isp could equal ntlworld, virginmedia or equivalent)

username= first part of email so for my example = joe.bloggs

password = only you know that

then click next

click finished and you are done.

If this doesnt work then you have not followed the instructions. Only exception is Blueyonder i think where instead of isp.com it will be blueyonder.co.uk

As stated before this does work, vthere is no issue with Outlook I have use outloock since the Outlook xp edition and i have always been able to configure it. QED
That is spot on the only difference with a @blueyonder.co.uk account is the username which will be similar to ab123c4567 instead of the email address.
