I've switched to cable. Why won't my e-mails send from outlook?

I have switched from dial-up broadband to a cable internet provider (Virgin
Media), and now me e-mails will not sed from outlook, although I recieve them
OK. I think Outlook is still trying to send via my old ISP (Tiscali) but I
don't know what to do to change this. Any ideas?

Contact Virgin Media and ask them for their SMTP set up and enter it accordingly

Contact Virgin to get their server information. Delete the Tiscali
information, create a new profile using Virgin.

There is no such service.

Well, you changed to a different ISP (or to a different account with
the same one). You will need to use the POP3 and SMTP servers for
your new ISP, or for whomever is your e-mail provider.

You've never created, defined, or modified accounts in Outlook? Hit
F1 and search on "change e-mail account".

It is called DSL and is considered broadband.

DSL is not dial-up. It is an always-on connection. Yes, you do have
to establish a session but you don't need to do handshaking with a
modem to establish the network connection as with dial-up service.

You're saying there are DSL providers who supply a broadband session
over a telephone line but require the user to first dial some
telephone number before access to that DSL bandwidth is permitted?
