I called the help team and they say they dont support Outlook - It must be the most popular email client in the world ......
They say use web mail !!!! ( How crap!!!!)
I have made an official complaint but have not received any replies....
Any suggestions... PS after starting Outlook again the stuck email(s) in the outbox eventually get sent. its something to do with SSL and the port that they use for SMTP
cheers - Duncan
comments welcome !
(I've been with them for over 10 years now and are really getting fed up with their attitude)

You could always just use the Outlook web interface? Or better still ditch it completely and switch to Thunderbird.

Is that on your computer then, it should not really be causing problems but you could check the email access levels.

I use it on my laptop to connect to the office Outlook 2003 server. On my desktop to connect to two different email accounts - one via POP3 the other via IMAP.
Best of all, it's free!

It is a good product, but another one thats unsupported by Virgin.
But do not let that stop you as it may be what you need to access your email.

Re: Virgin Media dont support Outlook
All they're saying is they don't support 3rd party applications, they shouldn't support any and concentrate on services they do provide. Email ports work fine with VM, I use them every day, if you can't fix the problem and MS won't help then find someone and pay them to fix the problem and stop cluttering up the support lines for problems not related to VM, you wouldn't contact your electricity supplier about a washing machine problem would you? Same thing, they provide the pipe and what sits on either end of it is your concern.
