You will need to follow the process to change the account username to a third party email address before you can generate the app password. https://www.virginmedia.com/dpb/help/change-my-virgin-media-email-address
Once you have done this use the full VM email address and the app password as the username/password in the mail app.
For future access to VM webmail and the My VM account you will need to use the third party username and VM account password.
