Hi,
Sorry if it's either a dumb question or one that's been asked before but how can I use my Virgin email account on my Win 7 laptop when I don't have Outlook etc?

You can use webmail on any machine straight from the Virginmedia website.

On Windows 7 machines you can use any POP3 client such as the ones below, just click the links.

Windows Livemail

Incredimail

Thunderbird

Plus the are a few others here as well.

The advantage of webmail is that you can access your email virtually anywhere including the browser on your mobile phone.

You might already have Microsoft Outlook if you have their Office suite
