Virgin email
Bampah
How can I get my emails from m...@ntlworld.com account using
Thunderbird?
At present the pop3 settings are
pop.ntlworld.com &
smtp.ntlworld.com

Just download em?

If it was that easy, I wouldn't have asked.
I get a message stating that 'pop operation is not allowed for this
user.

Virgin are in the process of moving some (dunno if all) customer email
services over to googlemail. Mine, which is an old ntlworld account is
apparently going that way. BTW the old email addresses will be retained,
so it should cause no problems with your virgin addressing friends.
Best have a look at http://www.virginmedia.com/ and see what your
options are, and if you are moving over yet.
Once setup as googlemail, pointing that mail service at thunderbird is
not a problem using POP3.

Silly question but if you moved away from Virgin won't they have closed your
e-mail account with them.
When I moved from my previous ISP to my present one I could no longer use
that ISPs e-mail address.
I now use a GoogleMail account and then it not affected if I move ISP.

Not necessarily, you may not be able to send mail with that address but you
will be able to receive mail at that address. I've moved providers but still
have the account details set up in WLM and I still get mail from my old
provider plus the new one and Hotmail, Gmail and GMX.

If you have moved ALL your services then you no longer have a Virgin/NTL
whatever email address as your server disk space will have been wiped and
assigned to someone paying Virgin for their service.

If you had said that earlier, I wouldn't have replied as I did.
I cannot conceive of a mail account hosted on 'pop.ntlworld.com' that is
not available for POP download.

Thanks.
That was what I was fearing but I was hopeful that I would still be
able to retrieve the emails that had been sent before the cut off.
Ah well.

Login to http://www.virginmedia.com/ and check via webmail?
Don't think moving from virgin necessarily cancels their email service.
Certainly didn't for me ...

I think the magic words are 'I want to move to Pay As You Go dialup'. Then
you don't go and you don't pay. But your email addresses should be retained.
You might need to change the SMTP server since I think they block sending
mail not from their network (though they might permit SMTP with a
username/password from outside).

Try logging-in to your Virgin email account here :-
www.mail2web.com ( via your web browser )
This will prove if your account still exists on the servers.
I think that Mail2web uses either SSH or Telnet to gain access to the
mailservers.

That's probably it. Mine was a dialup ntlworld account to begin with.

My outbound SMTP is with Be who don't

It just uses POP3 or IMAP4, but make sure you trust mail2web before
using it, you're giving them your username/password and hoping they
don't do anything silly with it.

SSL is available via Advanced login option.
If the OP still has access & just wants to login & forward mails that
he left on the pop server, then mail2web is easier than opening a
telnet session from command prompt in Windows.

Do you mean mail sent to you ( pop server )
or sent by you ( smtp server )
If the former you can check this from gmail :-
https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#settings/fwdandpop
and also set up Thunderbird to access your gmail account.

That doesn't mean you're not giving a 3rd party your login details.

Some ISPs charge for this after a while, though.
I had an old BTinternet address that I kept going "just in case", after
I changed ISPs.
However, after a year or two, I got an email from BT which said they
would disconnect the email address unless I paid for their "Yahoo
premium mail". It was only �1.47 a month so I paid up and carried on for
another year until I was happy that I wasn't getting any more live emails.
I then cancelled.

Virgin delete your email account and contents as soon as your
subscription runs out. Until then, you should be able to collect the
emails from them using your virgin / ntlworld login details just like
you were before.
Presumably you were downloading the messages onto your local machine in
the mailer?
Any mails that arrive at virgin after your account expires will either
land on the floor or be bounced.

Does this still apply now that Virgin seems to be part of Google mail
or are you talking from past experience?
