    Have request forum moderator redact your curl output because it reveals your public IP Address, email address and password.

    You need to generate an App Password for use with email clients. To do this sign into My Virgin Media and select Account settings > Virgin Media Mail settings > Generate  new App password — use the newly generated App Password with email clients

    Hey Armdalesyd, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

    Is this username to login into my Virgin Media or the actually emails?

    If so sometimes it needs a 3rd party email to help it run smoothly, what happens when you try and login that way do you get an error code?

    Do all emails load properly? Cheers

      Hi Mathew, the NTL email was my VirginMedia account usernale until I was told by a member of VM customer services that I needed to provide a different email to use as my VM account username which I did so the info you have is the email afddress I cannot access via Outlook which I have used for years on various devices and OS's.I believe I am seeing my emails now but have to use the website.

      Regards

        Thank you Armdalesyd 

        To clarify are you now able to access the email and this is resolved or do you still require assistance.
