NTL allow POP, IMAP(I think) and HTTP access to the mailservers. Outlook allows customers to "Leave a copy of the messages on the server".

1. What makes you think I don't keep remote backups of important stuff ?

2. I don't really take kindly to insults inferring I would be so stupid as to not know where my backups are, you are walking a thin line atm.
1. I'm sure you do. You seem to be in favour of them but just opposed to them being stored on ntl's mailservers for soem reason.

2. I was generalising. People lose things. It wasn't directed at you. Please don't be so sensitive.
