Sadly 90 days after you leave it will be deleted I would advice setting a new account and transfer all your important emails and update ur other bills with the new email.
Thank you for the news. Bit of a real crisis for me, as I am moving in 3 days, and there are hundreds of people involved. If I move, but continue to pay my full package to Virgin, will I still be able to get my emails from them whilst I get sorted? I do not have a second email at present. Would Hotmail be okay? thank you.

Hotmail (now called Gmail) would be fine but there are many other free email services available - see here https://www.lifewire.com/best-free-email-accounts

When I retired I decided to stop using the (non VM) email account I had been using and switch to a new one. Advising contacts and updating other online accounts linked to my old address was not as lengthy or time consuming as I expected. certainly not a crisis.
You will have full use of the VM email account for 90 days from when your broadband account account closes but it's fair to say that VM are not exactly strict on that timetable. You certainly cannot rely on having access to the email account after the 90 days but the chances are that it will still be there for a while after that.
Finally:
"If I move, but continue to pay my full package to Virgin, will I still be able to get my emails"
I would say "don't even consider it". Even if it was possible it is going to confuse things with VM and will probably end up going horribly wrong - you might end up with a new and unwanted 18 month VM contract for example.
Sorry, but you do need to bite the bullet and set up a new email account asap.
