I am having trouble logging into emails on my laptop - getting the error message 403 forbidden, though I can access emails on my phone. I can see that there have been similar issues previously, but is there an easy fix for this? Technical support in India could not resolve it! Thanks.
This can usually be resolved by clearing the browser cache and deleting cookies relating to Virgin Media Mail.
Using a private browsing window would override cookies so can be used to check if the issue is cache/cookie related.
Hi garyturton1,
Thank you for your post and welcome back to our community forums. We're here to help.
I'm very sorry to hear you're having some trouble with your email service recently. Has the advice offered by Graham_A helped at all?
If you have and the issue remains, please let us know of any other checks and troubleshooting you've performed. Can you also confirm that you're trying to access your emails directly from our webmail platform or via a third party app/mail client?
Thanks,
Hi Zach. Just tried after clearing the browser cache and cookies - but still getting the same error message. I am using the VM website and going via the email tab. On my mobile I am using a third party email app for Android, which is working fine. I haven't tried anything else, as I am not too tech savvy.
Regards,
Gary
Thanks for coming back to us garyturton1,
Sorry that clearing the caches/cookies and your browser did not work. Can we ask if you have tried using a different web browser altogether?
You can take a look at our help and support for emails here, or we have a some community forum post which may be of assistance to you here.
Please let me know if this helps.
Kind regards Jodi.
