Thanks very much to all who replied. An incredibly simple fix sufficed.
I simply installed Thunderbird and told it to collect my ntlworld mail -
leaving outlook to handle my zen mail. Thunderbird is not as fussy as
Outlook in constantly asking for passwords and Outlook is remembering the
zen passwords.
Job done - and I've learned a bit about the route command in Windows toboot.
