if the virgin problem isn't fixed then thunderbird wont work, looks like there's a problem with the blueyonder server.
try changing your server to :-
Incoming Mail Server = pop3.virginmedia.com
Outgoing Mail Server = smtp.virginmedia.com

make sure all these settings are in place along with the above :-
My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication: enabled
Use same settings as my incoming mail server: enabled
Advanced tab
Incoming server (POP3): 995
This server requires a secure connection (SSL) enabled
Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
This server requires a secure connection (SSL) enabled

My mums account had the same issue with her virginmedia email on wlm. i just removed the account and resetup the details.
You could try doing that first.
Next you could use the thunderbird backup tool to save everything then uninstal thunderbird then reinstall> then use the thunderbird backup tool to restore everything.

ok got this sorted now and heres how the server was not responding correctly on the default port. i had to set the outgoing server to:
Description: Irrelevant
Server Name: smtp.blueyonder.co.uk
Port: 25
Connection security: STARTTLS
Authentication method: Normal password
logon name ...whatever it is
