Have you logged into VM with your primary account to add the new (alias?) account?

 

[bilabonic]

Yes, that is the only way it will allow me to add an extra account.

Oh and i've come across this whilst searching -

Now that VM have farmed out email to Google, Google are insisting that all customers now use SSL secure mail using ports 465 (smtp) and 995 (Pop3). Any device which doesn't allow SSL wont be able to connect directly to email platform.




account type: POP3 ---
Incoming : pop.ntlworld.com ---
Outgoing (SMTP) : smtp.ntlworld.com ---I knew this info already
