Thanks Graham, I understand what you are saying and if VM offered decent support I may have got to this stage 4 days ago but as I am finally in a conversation with someone that appears to offer assistance, even if it doesn't work, I am reluctant to start again. Thanks for your input

Hi MartinGW 

Message from Gondola on TalkTalk

Following my link to the Virgin Media Community, I see you're in touch with Chris_W1 of the Virgin Media Community team and that your mailbox address is still present on the Virgin Mail (ukmail) server. 

Good luck.

If this is the case, is it possible to allow temporary access to download recent e-mails and contacts ?

Hi there @MartinGWilson

If you are no longer a customer with us, we will not be able to retrieve any emails or allow any access to download contacts - I am sorry

[MartinGWilson]

Is that because it is gone or is access blocked ? If the address no longer exists, why aren't emails being bounced so clients are aware that the address is no longer available ? When testing the address I am informed that it is a valid address ! All very frustrating.

it will be in the process of being deleted. all staff can do is make sure its fully deleted from the system

Hi

I am no longer a virgin customer and understood email addresses were deleted 90 days after leaving. It has been 7 months since I left and my email has not been deleted and has now been hacked. I can no longer access the address via myvirginmedia as I am not a customer so I cant change the password. How can I get the email address deleted.
