Company email address suddendly stopped working

We have a company email address with Virgin Media (we should have known better really), this stopped working late last week and I have been trying desperately to get this back online.

I spoke at length with an agent via chat and spent well over 30 minute with him trying to get this working with the Virgin Media O2 ID. Everytime I verify an email, when I attempt to log back in I get told that either the email address is not verified 

If I try, I can sign in to https://www.virginmedia.com/myvmo2/home using this email address but when I try to go to email, I get the following:

--------

Your Virgin Media Mail account is currently unavailable

This is either because your Virgin Media Mail account is locked, or because you donโ€™t have an active account with us anymore.

For more information on how to unlock your Virgin Media Mail account, head to our help page on managing your Virgin Media O2 ID.

Currently I just seem to be going around in circles and not able to progress any further.

I asked for a ticket number from them as the agent advised that IT would need to look at this, as it was a bug and I was provided an order reference number (their wording not mine) and was told that someone would come back to me within 5 days.

I appreciate I am still within that timeframe, however on reading some of the other posts on here, I'm not convinced someone is actually going to come back to me within this timeframe. Has anyone had any success with fixing a similar issue?

Having been a VM customer since the NTL days (over 20+ years) I'm losing faith in the company and are seriously looking to change over email addresses away from VM, and then do likewise with my broadband connection.

Can anyone in this forum offer any help here please?

      The email address in question is not my primary email address (that was used to set-up the account), so I don't think this will work, however I will give this a try and report back to you.

  • It won;t let me confirm my account details. The Last name is correct, the account number has been taken from online backing, and I have tried every Area reference and none of these work I'm afraid.

      Hi BcFc1875-โ€‹ 

      You say that the account number has been taken from online banking.  It's possible that in using that method that you are entering too many numerical digits.

      I bank with the Halifax, and my VM account number appears as 12 digits on their systems, however my actual VM account number is only 9 digits in length.  Those 9 digits correspond to the first 9 digits shown on my Halifax online banking.

  • VM will only let you enter 9 digits anyway, so whilst you are correct in that the number in the online backing is 12 digits, it will only take the first 9 anyway, so that should hopefully have been the correct details.

      Thank you for that information. Have you been able to confirm the email address from any correspondence we have sent you regarding the account?
