How to use another app to read Virgin/Blueyonder emails at work

[mergleb]

Hi - for some reason I cannot access my usual Blueyonder webmail at work as I get the dreaded FSB50 error. I just cannot solve that as I think it may be a security issue on the work network.

My workaround was to use Thunderbird, Outlook or Mailbird etc to read my Blueyonder emails.

However every app I install won't access the Virgin/Blueyonder emails even when I have put all the correct SMTP, POP info in as it says I have wrong password.

I have two passwords for Virgin - one for emails and one for general logging in to account etc. BOTH of them are not recognised. How can I use another app to get emails please?
