You were right, I went into Internet Properties- Connections and put on a server which is a non NTL one ( I realise stuff will still go through NTLs servers anyway) and it solved the problem.

One thing concerns me, when I do a Sygate Security scan, without this proxy it shows all ports blocked. With the proxy on, it shows some open but my IP address is different. I'm assuming it's reading the proxy here??? I wouldn't want to take any security risks having finally got this wretched computer just about running as it should. There are, after all, other e mail providers.

Actually, looking back on my previous PC woes 2 factors seem to run constant. AOL software left behind even when I left them and NTL / Proxy ruddy servers.........
