You can send mail using any web mail service to which you are subscribed at the phone. This overcomes all SMTP problems.

You are then at the mercy of your subscribed service as to whether or not you can permanently set mail forwarding for received mails. This usually requires an Exchange server connected for reading with POP3 to work.

I would recommend not using a Virgin e-mail address as your default/provider of choice because of these problems. I use MSN and BTinternet as two e-mail subscriptions that are available from everywhere. Googlemail is also good (and reasonably feature rich) but I object to the handle "Googlemail" used in the UK (Gmail everywhere else is OK with me).
