I can receive mail but not send using mail.virgin.net server. This problem
started when I migrated to windows mail.
 
Any error message when you try sending? If so, right-click on it,
copy, then paste it into a reply here.
 
The meThe message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

Are you using a connection that uses any other internet provider's
equipment before it reaches virgin.net's equipment? If so, connections
to port 25 are often blocked to cause trouble for spammers.

You might also try turning off SSL in your email account under Windows
Mail - it sometimes helps.

So did you try turning on SMTP AUTH as the error message recommends?
To do so: Tools, Accounts, select the mail.virgin.net account, Properties,
Servers, check the box for "My server requires authentication."
