Had a problem with loggin into email accouts - P012213849
Suppoort passed this to advanced support. Whom contacted me setup a passowrd for me to use, with the advice to change it the next day.
I have not been able to access it since.
I have tried the change password option, it lets me put in a new password then refuses to accetp it.
The family is now locked out of 7 out of 8 email addresses & my master email for my account has been removed.
One of my secondary email accounts has disappeared, the one I use the most with key emails in there - yet the other email accounts for my family are still there.
I think I have been hacked but Virgin tell me not, a ticket has been logged with their IT team but it can take up to 5 working days for them to fix it.
In the meantime I don't know if someone has access to my account, but like you I have some really important emails and things I need to sort in the next few days.
How can a whole email account simply disappear??
Hey wodsy69m,
Welcome back to the community and thanks for taking the time to post.
I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re having with your email account at the moment, this sounds like it is an email system error rather than your account being hacked, unfortunately we wouldn't be able to do anything further to help as your email issues have been logged with our support team. The support team will be back in touch with you when the issues have been resolved.
Kind Regards,

So somehow Virgin Media can see one of my email accounts that I use all the time - a secondary one but I use it because the blueyonder one kept getting hacked..... but it has disappeared from my view
2 x phone calls, nearly two hours on Saturday - promising someone would ring me on Monday
45 minutes yesterday, promising someone would ring me on Tuesday to give me an update
I was told that I already had 4 accounts - yes I know, I am allowed up to 9.... no information as to how it has happened, how or when I will get it back
Its a critical email account that has things in there that are time sensitive to be dealt with - I only work from the webmail and don't download to a third party app, because heaven forbid it should disappear from a web access
I suppose thats another hour of my life this evening I am not going to get back whilst I listen to the On Hold music of customer services
Oh - I also tried the text message service there are only three options and Chatbot doesn't understand anything outside those parameters!
Fortunatel I had already set my account to forward to my Gmail, so I am still receiving mail. I also downloaded the .pst files from onedrive to local drive, so I can open them in Outlook, to view my old emails. This is one of the problems with Outlook storing PST files in the onedrive with Windows 10 & 11.
Hi big-luap,
Upon checking the ticket we can see that it has been closed as resolved, I am really sorry if that's not the case.
I've dropped you a PM so I can take some details from you and look into this for you.
Thanks,
The farce is still ongoing on different devices.
Try this my inbox does not get updates but my Ebay & Paypal folders do.
