Virgin media email, send via another isp?

[Dano]

Now that Virgin media have offloaded all their backend email handling to google and settings now use SSL to send and receive emails does anybody know if it's possible to send email from a mail client when connected to the internet via say talktalk or bt as is possible with gmail?

Yes - very simple now they are on Google. I would enable IMAP in your googlemail settings and follow their instructions to set it up with SSL etc.
