Please help. Email account closed.

I’ve been informed I have 15 days left until my email is closed. It’s closed early and I have Covid so not really in the frame of mind to sort out.

Please can someone help? I have 25+ years of emails to migrate.

i’m so worried I’ve lost all my emails. In fact I feel quite sick.

The live chats were hopeless. I was given a phone number to call but call failed.

    Are you currently a VM broadband customer, which is required to keep any VM mailboxes running into the future?

    How many days notification did you actually get to deal with the closure if the mailbox access closed earlier than the 15 days stated?

      Hi,

      Not a customer but had email for 25+ years. Received two email telling me I had 30 days then had another 4 days ago telling me I had 15 days.

      These emails were amongst spam that also told me my account would be closed unless I clicked on a link.

      i just need a few more days to get everything sorted.

      Live chat was hopeless and I’ve spent 5 hours trying to get it sorted.

      Are you someone from VM customer service and can help with my situation?

      I’ve just had severe case of Covid so not been able to sort emails and still getting over it.

        This is mainly a customer forum. VM staff may eventually pick this up, but they can only repeat the official line that the email will be closed if you are not paying for their broadband. It's a firm management line and they have no discretion.

    I'm not a Virgin Employee but I have Escalated this thread as I'm aware of the time constraints here.  Hopefully if the Email is not yet closed the VM Forum Team can get you back in.
