vm email compatability on Sky?

My daughter recently moved to a block of flats that only have access to Sky.

The installers told her she could still use her ntlworld email account - is that correct?

When she set it up she told me she could receive but not send emails.

Does that sound correct?

Re: vm email compatability on Sky?

I believe you can only send from a virgin media line using a mail client.

She would still be able to send & receive using purely the webmail interface however I would think that the NTLworld.com email account would eventually be deleted. I'm sure one of the VM staff on the forum might be able to clarify the policy on deleting email accounts.

She can receive with Outlook and she may be able to configure the outgoing to use the SKY SMTP server

Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.sky.com

Yes, get her to get a new throw away account like Gmail or Hotmail. She could loose that address suddenly.
