Just as an aside, I was about to say the if you're using Thunderbird, then
it'll automatically configure all the settings just from your email address.

However, I tried it with a random @virginmedia.com address and it put
imap.googlemail.com in the settings.

But then I found someone in their forums 4 years ago saying that the
Thunderbird ISPDB was out of date for Virginmedia. So.... does anyone know
the score on that?

I always tend to avoid ISP's own email - it just ties you to an account
which is tricky to move when you change ISP.

Stick with gmail or something - you can still use IMAP, but your address
will never change :)
