    Do you mean Virgin Cable? Emails in Outlook express that are stored on your computer will stay there.
    Why not get yourself a Gmail or similar account thats independent of your ISP.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    OP is presumably on Virgin National if they have a BT line.
    As above, anything already in OE will remain there regardless of provider-the emails are already stored on your PC.
    Another vote for GMail., which you can set up to download into OE.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
