    There does not seem to be a major problem similar to the 2023 VM email meltdown.

    However, to be honest, there has always been a steady trickle of people reporting that some of their VM emails have disappeared. That applies to all the VM email domains.

    Do you use an email app or client such as Microsoft Outlook or a Mail app to manage your blueyonder emails? If so are the emails missing from your VM webmail account?

    VM do not seem to keep routine backups of emails which was probably why it took them so long to recover from their email meltdown in 2023.

    Looking at your posting history it seems that you do have a VM broadband account. As a result the Forum Team (VM staff who support this forum) can take a look at this. I suspect they will not be able to recover those missing emails but we can but hope.

    One of the team will contact you via this thread either today or tomorrow.

    By the way, I have merged your posts into one thread. Making several separate posts on the same subject does not result in you getting a speedier response.
