Hello
if I leave virgin media I appreciate my email accounts will be deleted after 90 days, but can someone else then obtain these old email addresses? Main concern is that companies i previously registered with will still continue to send emails to these old addresses… and other members of my family also use their blue yonder accounts. Ideally they should never be able to be picked up by anyone again
Well yes, the response from Graham above is the ‘official’ response, but, the equally (semi) official arrangement is that your email address and mailbox will be deleted 90 days after you leave. Well, except there are verified reports on here, and acknowledged by the forum team (VM employees) that sometimes email mailboxes, and addresses linger on for months, years, indeed decades after you leave - so really don’t rely on it!
The best thing is to work on the basis that VM may or may not delete the mailboxes and addresses, but you need to make your own arrangements, ie what companies have the old address registered as your current address etc? In theory if you have transitioned everything across to a new address then it really doesn’t matter if the old one still works or may, or may not, be compromised - it isn’t linked to anything important!
