I can’t login to my iPhone mail or any other email app any more as I keep getting an error message. My email address ends with @ntlworld.com. I have contacted Virgin & updated my password. I can login to emails via the virgin website. Is anyone else having this problem? It has just recently started.

@Annemarienelson VM have recently changed the log in requirements for accessing VM Mail via third party apps.
If you change the password for the account in My Virgin Media > Account settings > Account details you will not be able to use the new password to access the account via an email client. Email client access now requires an app specific password which can be generated in the MyVM > Account Settings > Account details > Mailbox App password management

Yes it happened to me on Thursday 20 April up until 1.00 pm I was able to login to outlook then I couldn’t send or receive emails on outlook I’ve changed my password but when I input to outlook I’m getting an error message. Foreigners in technical support can’t help I’ve been told by an agent that some can help and others can’t Some customer service

Hi Tom
why does VM tech team ad help desk not know about this to help people when they phone. All I was getting was ‘it’s a third party app and we can’t help. We will transfer you to the gadget team who can help but you will have to pay ‘I’d have been lost without Graham

Thank you so much Graham! I have tried for months to get into my emails through my email app on my iPhone and virgin were useless, even tried to charge me to get their specialist team to help with the issue so this is very much appreciated 😊
