Email locked

A sub email on my account has been locked due to suspicious activity. We have been trying now for nearly 2 weeks and 5 phone calls to Virgin media’s customer service to resolve it. All they have said is that they have raised a ticket. They spent the 1st week working on the wrong email and we just feel like we are getting nowhere. We have even gone as far as nearly cancelling the whole account, but once again we trust them when they said they would resolve the issue for us. We have been lied to repeatedly and told we can not speak to anyone else but the customer service team who clearly don’t understand the situation.

    Yes we have tried VMO2ID and it still says the account is locked. All we need is the email account unlocking.

    There are no longer any "sub" email accounts, as each mailbox is now a standalone account.  You need to create the new mandatory VMO2ID account for each mailbox.  Once done, you should be able to login using the VMO2ID user. 

    Once logged on try following these steps to see if a password reset allows access:

    Go to Account settings, then Account details
    Tap Manage next to Manage your Virgin Media Mail app password under Virgin Media Mail
    Then, under Virgin Media Mail app password tap Get password
    Continue the flow and a new secure password will be generated, and the mailbox unlocked
    Update any third-party apps that may be use to access your Virgin Media Mail emails with this new app password.
