I am with virgin for broadband and tv
In that case the Forum Team (VM staff who support this forum) should be abler to get your virgin.net email account linked to your current VM broadband account. That should protect it for as long as VM continue to provide their email service. However, VM stopped issuing email accounts 2 1/2 years ago and the future of the VM email service is unclear.
However, back to your current issue. VM will need evidence that your virgin.net email account was originally linked to an account that was in the same name as your current VM broadband account. That can sometimes prove tricky since many virgin.net email accounts were originally used with the old original Virgin (as opposed to Virgin Media) dial up internet service of 20 years ago.
Hopefully this will be sorted out for you, One of the Forum Team will contact you via this forum thread and go through the details with you.
