just receive this email from NTL

Hi

Our records indicate that you are accessing your ntlworld email via a method that will not be supported in the near future.

To continue receiving your mail, you will need to change your settings in Outlook Express.

We are currently undertaking a large programme of work to block spam and viruses on our email service, in order to make it more secure and to provide all our customers with an improved service in the future. We have noticed that you are collecting your e-mail in a way that will be blocked in the near future to provide added security.

You need to change your incoming mail settings from the IP address (a list of numbers, e..g. 62.162.256.50) to the server name "pop.ntlworld.com".

The IP address numbers may have been given to you in the past by our technical support team as a temporary solution to an email problem. However you now need to change back and use pop.ntlworld.com.

Now just recently i've twigged how to send/receive email from my SE K700, this is sporadic at best and only when absolutely necessary since the GPRS charge isn't part of my bundled contract.

Ordinarily i use Outlook and the wife uses Outlook Express email clients to retrieve email. Again use of the web email is sporadic at best.

What i can't fathom is what method they think i'm using that they are actually going to change in the future that would give me issues?
