You cannot change the primary account with NTL, you can change any
additional but not the primary.

Explain exactly what it is you want to achieve..

I'll start with a guess or two.

If you mean Outlook Express and posting to NG's, you can use any
email addy in the "from" and "reply" filelds.
Tools>Accounts>News Tab
Click to highlight your NTL server
Click the "Properties" button
Change the entries
Click "Apply" then "OK"

If as an example, you use the "Send link by Email" option for
a website, in the ensuing email dialog you can use any email
account from the drop down that is configured into OE.
All you have to do is configure the required email account
into outlook express or client of your choice.

With NTL / Virgin you are allowed a primary email account plus about 10
other email accounts.

You are not allowed to change the primary email but you can the other email
accounts, all I want to know is how do I change the primary email.

Lets say the primary email is plus
another 10 emails then the primary cannot be changed, how do I do this.

You probably need to close your present account and open a new one to
change the primary mail account. I'm not an NTL'er, but that's the way
it usually works.

Send them an email and ask how.

You cannot change your primary account, thats the one assigned to you by
your ISP, only they can, maybe, change it

You need to contact NTL - only they can do that.

Seems to me you have answered you own question. "You are not allowed to
change the primary email"...

If you don't want to use the primary ID, why not just put a block on it
- or simply ignore it - and use another of your IDs as your 'main' ID?

I would recommend you check the primary once in a while to see if the
ISP sent you any system notices.
