Hello ChrisNoble. 

Thanks for your post. 
Sorry to hear about the issue with your email account 
I can look into this for you. 
If you don't mind, I will need to send you a private message to pass security. 
If you can check the purple envelope top right of your screen that would be great. 
Regards     
Gareth_L

Hello Chris. 

If I am being honest, I don't know how or why this issue occurred at all. Its a very strange one from here. 

The only thing I can pin it down to is the upgrade for our online accounts stopped a simple password change from your side. 

Main thing is its all sorted now.

Sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused you.

Re: Customer support just told me 'all ntlworld accounts have been disabled' - can't get into my mail et

ntlworld.com email - mine is still working up to now 15/6/2022

My ntlworld.com primary email is still working normally today, and it would be unlikely that virgin media  would remove a primary account or dissable one. without good reason, such as if it had not been used for 90 days or if it was compromised in some way.

Also my secondary emails virginmedia.com  are working normaly today.

Surely if there was a change to any virgin email  it should be announced or communicated prior to any de-activation of an emails.

The passwords are no longer restricted to 10 digits and can be upto 64 digits.

There have been some changes regarding setting up new emails and changing secondary email passwords, you have to know the old password to change to a new one when managing other accounts, so wise to keep a writen record rather than rely on memory and if the secondary account owner changes the password that might complicate matters. Creating a new email account seem  now to involve getting sent an invite which is new, but it also says no new emails except for exising accounts.

Can someone please confirm if the ntlworld.com emails are to continue or are they being phased out, which is implied by the recent cutomer services responses and problems  with older emails such as blueyonder.com and virgin.net.

Also the secondary emails have had the alternative  contact address removed which is still available for primary email accounts which is less secure for pasword recovery, so a lot of suttle changes going on behind the scenes.

visit my other post...

my issue after a lot of titting around is now resolved... but it has wasted a lot of time through misleading info on this forum.

resove was achieved via webchat / whats app to VM... and a lot of patients.

No, I appreciate the help, all sorted now. Thanks to the intervention of the forum staff. 

I have decided to migrate  email away from Virgin, however - it’s feeling a bit flaky.
