Virgin (blueyonder), as do many ISPs, do not allow access to their smtp server from another network. So when you are using the data connection, you will have to use O2's smtp server. Your mail will still appear to come from your Virgin account.

Change the account settings to use "smtp.o2.co.uk". No username or password required.
