Virgin Media should have stayed as NTL, then at least I could still call them NTHell

hey guys

Can anyone recomend a good POP3 email service as I have finally lost my rag with Virgin, I have been unable to access an email address which I have held for 6 years with them simply because they are updating their servers "For 96 HOURS argh" so I need a reasonable address that I can use, sync with my ipod and outlook services and that I don't have to pay for, any ideas?

I have got yahoo and it's free or you could use Hotmail,that's free too, I am also with Virgin and when I have problems (Rarely) I go through my Virgin Webmail.

Yahoo
Hotmail
Rocketmail
Gmail
Freeola

or you could buy yourself your own email address.

I still call virgin for free.

Is it worthwhile going into your virgin email a/c, and re-directing emails to a hotmail or gmail account for that 96 hour period?

.. I still have my old Telewest 'addy' .. good old Blueyonder... happy with Virgin though, no problems - so far!!!...

its the Virgin webmail that isn't working so I can't even log in to set up a re-direct for items, only thing I can think of is that its still an old virgin.net address that I've been using which may now be defunct, but I don't know
