Recieving e-mail should always be possible on any connection. Where the problems kicks in is sending: Most smtp servers will only accept connections from within their corporate networks as a precaution against spammers.

So long as the connection by whatever means is provided by VM the ntl.com / virgin.net / virginmedia.com smtp servers will accept the outgoing mail. The alternative here is to use the webmail access.

FYI Vodafone's mobile network is in VMs domain so smtp on VM servers works fine on 2G and 3G piggybacking. I've also been able to send mail from "The Cloud" wifi hotspots.
