This can't be the case because all the passwords are stored in the OS X keychain and the Mail settings are all still intact. What happens is it takes ages to connect to pop.ntlworld.com and then ages to send the password which then rejects on a random basis. If you try to access webmail, this will also not allow you to log in.

It's a problem with the ntlworld email servers. Do what I do and get your own domain with a few pop addresses and use those instead. Far more reliable.
