Accessing a pop3 account is usually independant of the ISP. One thing to look into though is that if the NTL account is closed you may lose the NTL email addresses as well.

Think that there is some confusion here. Sally want to access the NTL work e-mails from home but using Plusnet as her ISP. I would guess that the POP3 settings would be the same but the SMTP server would need to be changed to Plusnet for this to work.

Don't think I've contradicted that have I? I thought the OP wants to access NTL email from Plusnet ISP, isn't that right? I neglected to mention the SMTP being the plusnet settings I admit but I think everything else is true if the NTL ISP account is closed.

Yes it was just the assumption that the NTL account would close. Surely the company would keep their NTL e-mail account, regardless of employees personal working from home arrangements.

Perhaps I'm becoming a pedant like you!

It certainly was an assumption which was why I said it was something to look into if the NTL account closed (:D ) which it may if the premises are going to be rented out. It was an "if this happens.... then this may happen..." post. You've yet to reach my level of pedantry young one

Surely that is why people come on here for help and advice! Some ISP's don't 'support' routers other than the one that they supply and others will not give any help for Mac users, but they will all supply info on their POP3/SMTP servers etc.
