ntl email account change to virginmedia.com

[Blue2basingstok]

I have an “ntl" email account and can’t sent emails. 

I have changed the;

(1) IMAP host name from: imap.ntlworld.com, to: imap.virginmedia.com 

(2) SMTP host name from: smtp.ntlworld.com, to: smtp.virginmedia.com

However, when I try and save this and get a dialog box stating “Unable to verify account name or password". 

Help - as I can’t sent emails

Can you access/send your emails at  https://mail2.virginmedia.com/? 

[用心棒]

It would be helpful to see what, if any, error code is returned by the SMTP server in this situation. Open a Command Shell window and enter the following where username:password is replaced with your email address and password, i.e. richard.branson@virginmedia.com:Y54kpX5g:

curl -v smtps://smtp.virginmedia.com -u username:password

Do not post the resulting output here but instead review it for possible reported causes and then post just the redacted part here or the VM error code.

In the meantime use webmail.

Thank You for your response but unfortunately your response was too technical for my abilities.

That said, I rebooted my iMac and the changes now appear to have worked
