I have 3 different account server settings,:
1. Default - both incoming and outgoing set to mail.virgin.net. Works fine.
2. A second account which I was told to use for WLAN connectivity - but that still doesn't work with Vodafone WLAN in LH lounges, although it works fine elsewhere. It uses pop.virgin.net for the incoming and smtp.virgin.net as the outgoing server.
3. For my Vodafone Mobile Connect card, a third account with mail.virgin.net as the incoming server and send.vodafone.net as the outgoing. Works fine as well.
However, I had an error message yesterday and couldn't receive any e-mail (via port 110). On contacting them, they found some spam blocking the inbox; a few seconds of clicking away at their end and all was resolved.
Same thing happened this morning, similar fix. I suspect that there's some new anti-spam algorithm causing the problem?
It's possible that people without totally virus-free e-mail systems are having messages bounced back by Virgin.net's new anti-spam filters. These are proving to be very effective against the tide of garbage being sent out by spammers.
