Emails not getting sent and empty sent folder - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm receiving emails just fine to my phone for my ntlworld email address, in fact, they get to my phone before they are received on my pc which is normally a few moments later. But when I send emails, it says 'sending..' then disappears so I'd assume it's sent but none of my sent emails appear in my phone's sent folder, the folder is blank and always has been. Also, I sent a test email to myself, to my ntlworld account, same thing, nothing showing in sent folder, and it hasn't arrived as email on my pc. I sent it hours ago, so it's not sending. What could be wrong?

What email client are you using, Stock or else? Try to check the Outgoing server setting, must be something messed up there.

Stock. Well, only outgoing setting I can find is at the top of this screenshot 'Default Account'. Is there some other setting?

Oh, and this is my sent folder. Blank.

What? There must be an Outgoing setting option, it should be listed under the Incoming setting!!! Press Menu, is it there?
Like this,

When I press 'Incoming settings' it goes to a screen showing my 'User name' which is my ntlworld.com email address, and 'Password', and when I click 'Next' which is the only option to press, it goes to a screen saying 'Retrieving account information...' then goes back to the Account settings screen.

Man then your email server mustn't support IMAP/POP3, but what would it support then, lol? There HAS to be an Outgoing Settings option, otherwise it's quite normal that email's are not being sent. Hope you find your answer by someone experienced else.
Going to sleep, GN and BOL.

I think I've found the solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646856
I need to do:
pop.ntlworld.com
smtp.t-email.co.uk
But, I can't seem to find where to adjust my settings? Maybe I need to delete my email account for ntlworld and start again?

try removing you account and setting it up with manuel settings...

Ye did that, and tried both smtp.t-email.co.uk and smtp.ntlworld.com on different port numbers but it won't work, says 'server does not support authentication'. I tried it with pop3 and also imap. It seems ok for incoming, just not for smtp.
So I've now set up my gmail email on the phone with the automatic settings and not the manual settings, and it lets me send emails which is great. But how do I now associate my ntlworld account with it so I can forward all mail received at the gmail account to my ntlworld account? Do I need to delete the gmail account and set it up again using manual settings, and with imap or pop3? Currently, I have both my ntlworld email account still on the phone and the gmail account. I can still receive email to my ntlworld account.
I read this on android forum:
"Had to set up a separate gmail account to send and using the smtp.gmail.com server. Then simply go into the gmail account settings (which u have to anyway to enable IMAP) and forward all mail received at the gmail account to your ntlworld account..a pain but easy way round the problem.
Forwarding covers the problem of recipients replying to your gmail emails; which obviously is the address they receive the message from.
You wont receive replies from them directly to your ntlworld address. They'll go to the gmail account. Set up forwarding on gmail to ntlworld address to resolve it."
