My inbox has also generally been suspiciously quiet of late too. I'm in Bury, North Manchester and also use ntlworld. Anyone any clues? I would ask NTL but I've been told I'm not allowed to complain about the email any more.
Have you tried to narrow this down abit and see at which point it is bouncing.

IE Is it reaching the NTL server and failing to deliver to the inbox or is it bouncing straight away.

You could try to telnet this as below -

To telnet it try the following -

To telnet the mail server:
Click onto Start then Run
type telnet pop.ntlworld.com 110 - press enter
+OK InterMail POP3 server ready.
type user then a space then your user.name - press enter
+OK please send PASS command
type pass then a space then your password - press enter
+OK user.name is welcome here

This logs you into the pop server.

type list.

This will list all the mails on ther server.

Then type quit to close the telnet connection.

Could try sending a few test emails then telnetting it see whats there and then go to your email client and send/receive and see if what you receive matches what you just looked at in the telnet session.
