Can’t access emails after password reset

[dcampbell86]

We have reset our password this evening (4 times!) to something completely new and then managed to logon onto the Virgin Media website but when we try to access our emails we get a message saying it’s currently unavailable.

Customer services say that the email account is unlocked so why can’t we access our email?  It’s very stressful as we have everything going to this email so need it back!

It can take up to an hour for the password change to percolate through all the VM databases that control access to the email account.

Have you waited that long after each change?

[dcampbell86]

Yep over an hour!

this was after the dodgy email saying our email was blocked due to the malware situ!

Hi dcampbell86

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. 

Sorry to hear of the email issue. Just to confirm you've done the following; changed the password to something new and unique and done a malware scan on all your devices, then left it 30 minutes before trying again to log in?

Kind regards,

[dcampbell86]

Yes we did this 3 or 4 times.  Miraculously the next morning all emails came through, funny that isn’t it?

This came after my call to the help desk who were insisting on another password reset and then they raised an IT ticket for us.  Coincidence or what?
