email password issues since October

I have found the solution

  • If you have logged on to your account, the password must be correct.  If you are looking for a password to use with an email client, see below.

    To create one or update an existing client password you need to follow these steps:

    Sign into the My Virgin media account for the email concerned with your VMO2ID
    Select Account Settings
    Select Identity & Security Settings
    Select Manage your products
    Select Manage email app password
    Click on the blue button 'Get New Password'

    NOTE - This is for email client password only.  The VMO2ID login password is different, so don't confuse the two.

    Thank you I found this at the same time, it is confusing though!  Now I have to see if it works with Blue Yonder emails.  Thanks

      It should work with BY as well.  Just remember every mailbox is now a separate entity and needs it's own VMO2ID account, as well as this different email client password.
