Are you generating the four word app password required?
It’s a five word one separated by hyphens which I have, never had a four word one. It’s been accepted previously.
Hello ianjayne,
Welcome to the Community, and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re experiencing with your email at the moment.
Have you generated a third-party app email password via the online account for your email address? You can do that by following the commands below.
Login > Account Settings >Virgin Media Mail Settings > Manage your Products > Verify that it's yourself via whichever means available to you > Manage email password > Get new password
Please let us know if the above works for you or if you need any further assistance.
Kind Regards,

Yes I did (the second one since you changed log in a/c verification matters by the way) and well before we came sway last Dec, whilst it worked up to and including 6 Jan 2026 it no longer does. Why is this please ? Surely I don’t have to keep generating this 5 word password separated by hyphens every so often !
I can access webmail with no issues - yet - but I’m not holding my breath.
