New Virgin Email system is an abomination

I've been with "ntlworld" for 25 years. And I have to say ntl/virgin have the most horrid email implementation of any ISP in UK's history. I have been with AOL,ntl/virgin, BT. 

I created an email app password so please don't suggest i go through that stupid process again.

For the last few days I've all of a sudden been asked by the new outlook 365 program in windows to enter my password, which I did many times, even after generating a new one, and i can no longer log into my email.

I completely removed the account and tried to add it again - but no.

I can add it in outlook classic, only.

Virgin. sort your email out.

    VM has no interest in doing so and is instead actively winding down its email service. You need to break the habit of sticking with ISP email provision and begin the laborious but important migration to portable providers like Gmail or Proton.

    It isn't going to get any better. Get out now while it's still sort of working.
