If you’re having issues signing in to Virgin Media Mail, it could be because you’ve changed your Virgin Media O2 ID sign in details to something other than your Virgin Media Mail email address. If you’ve done this, sign in to Virgin Media Mail with the email you’ve used for your Virgin Media O2 ID. For example, if we gave you the username anexample@virginmedia.com, and you changed this to anexample@gmail.com in your online account settings, you’ll need to use the second email address to sign in to your anexample@virginmedia.com inbox.
If you use an email client, you need to use your Virgin Media Mail email address as the username, and your separate Virgin Media Mail app password. You can manage your email app password by signing in to My Virgin Media with your Virgin Media O2 ID, heading to Account settings, and
then ID settings.
As this app password is separate from your Virgin Media O2 sign in details for Virgin Media and O2 websites (or any Virgin Media apps), this won’t affect your My Virgin Media O2 password. So, if you check your Virgin Media Mail emails through My Virgin Media O2 or at mail.virginmedia.com, you'll still only need your My Virgin Media O2 password, if you have one.
