I am on a macbook air, I cannot access my emails anymore,  I get the message Connection to host imap.virginmedia.com on port 993 failed. Please can someone explain in simple terms how I get round this. Thank you

Try imap.ntlworld.com instead of imap.virginmedia.com.

I tried that & completely stuffed everything up  so had to delete my account from mac mail  and start all over again. Every thing was still there and up to date so it  obviously linked to virgin  webmail account  but still keeps losing the connection. This has all happened since the alleged virgin update supposedly fixed the problem.
