Email access "Forbidden"

[brackensroad]

Hello –

I have been locked out – again – from my Virgin webmail.

At first it was the usual "locked out" message that regularly assails users. Change your PW, might be a virus, blah blah.

But now I can't even click through as far as that: I just receive a white screen with FORBIDDEN in large letters, then "Forbidden" again in smaller letters.

I have tried both suggested fixes from the Community boards: changed my password and cleared my cache.

No change.

To be clear: this error is coming up when I use both Safari and Chrome. 

Luckily, I can still receive emails on my iPhone.

Can anyone advise of a solution?

Many thanks.

As a follow-up: I've tried to sign into my webmail on a colleague's laptop. Again, got the FORBIDDEN message.

So that would suggest the problem is on VM's end.

Please can someone from VM reply?

Thanks Ilyas, but i haven’t heard from the support team and, five days on, I’m still locked out of my account.

hello VM - anyone there? Now eight days since I've been FORBIDDEN from using my webmail. What's going on? Is anyone doing anything about this?

Hi brackensroad, 

Thank you for updating the thread and apologies for any delay in getting this resolved. 

I can see you are currently speaking with my colleague over private message. 

They will continue to assist you from there.

Thanks,
