which ISP in the UK

I use freeserve with no problems at all, set up a "PAYG" account with them, activate your email account by accessing it on their webpage. I'll post the server settings and dial-up number for you if you want.

Please.

But is it an IMAP service or do you have to use POP3

All you need now is a Email address, password and username from Freeserve and your sorted.
