Like i've also said before, if any of the plethora of email systems virgin adopted from NTL, Telewest etc were non standard, then you'd have more than users of MS outlook complaining.
I've got a Linksys router, which although it's badged that way is actually made by Cisco. Should virgin support my router as it's made by one of the biggest players in the world of networking. They don't and i'm happy with that. That's not to say my Linksys/Cisco rout won't work with Virgin, it does work, and very well. But if I get a problem with it, it isn't Virgin's problem. Exactly the same situation.
Would you care to tell us in what way outlook doesn't work, someone on here may know why in your case it doesn't work. I know you've mentioned multiple instances of it not working, but you've never told us exactly what doesn't work.

No need to get cross! It confuses the discussion. I did see your contribution but you must have missed my early contributions.
The short answer to your question is that many inexperienced users cannot configure Outlook as their email client using the latter's "new" account settings.
A newcomer was complaining that he could not use Outlook with VM who would not help him. I explained how to do it. And yes , yes, a lot of users like him do complain as shown by this thread which started a very long while ago.
I personally have been able to run Outlook with Blueyonder since the latter started years ago.
