Mykota&nbsp; It is not possible to move an individual email address from one Virgin Media broadband account to another.&nbsp; Your current virginmedia email address is likely to be deleted 90 days after you closed your broadband account.&nbsp; You will need to create a new email address with another email provider and let all your contacts know the new address.

tinateapot&nbsp; The short answer is you cannot.&nbsp; Virgin Media stopped issuing email addresses to new and existing customers in May 2022.You cannot move an individual email address from one VM broadband account to another so your partners old virginmedia email address will be closed down 90 days after he ceased to be a broadband customer.

tinateapot&nbsp;As per section D, subsection 6&nbsp; of VM's&nbsp;/Terms_and_Conditions_TV_Fibre_Phone&nbsp;6. Any email address allocated by us to you will at all times belong to us and&nbsp;you may not transfer the address to any person. If this agreement ends,&nbsp;yourright to use that email address will also end and you will no longer be&nbsp;able to use the email address, so please make sure you have an alternative&nbsp;email address and let your contacts know of the&nbsp; change, as we cannot do&nbsp;this for you. Please see our acceptable use policy for more detail on email&nbsp;address usage and our Help and Support page (by clicking here)&nbsp;on what&nbsp;happens to your email when you leave us.&nbsp;Also from the&nbsp;https://www.virginmedia.com/help/leaving&nbsp;pageDuring your disconnectionWhat else do I need to do if I’m leaving?You might also need to check:• If you have Netflix as part of your package, you’ll be able to continue using it until the end of your subscription period on your final bill. Once we’ve stopped billing you, Netflix will let you know how you can pay them directly.• If you have Virgin Media Internet Security (powered by F-Secure), your subscription is unaffected and will continue separately. You can contact F-Secure directly if you want to cancel, or they’ll be in touch when it’s time to renew.• Any emails you want to keep from your Virgin Media email address, as this will close 90 days after your disconnection date. Just make sure you forward anything important to a new email address.&nbsp;

"hi im a new account holder. how do i get a virginmedia email address?"I’m afraid VM no longer give email addresses to new users. You need to get one elsewhere.&nbsp;
