I’ve been sending emails all day with no problem Now when i tried to reply to one i got an error message
Cannot Send Mail
The username or password for
"smtp@virginmedia.com" is incorrect.
i really hope this doesn’t mean I’ve been locked out of my account by security again. I am taking this issue to the Ombudsman as im not satisfied with the reply from VM to my complaint letter about the 7 times Ive been locked out

Hi ilyas thank you for replying. I spent 21 minutes on the phone yesterday with someone who hadn’t a clue what to do The answer was someone will phone in 5 days I rang again and luckily got someone who was more clued in Bhavish. He talked me through linking my gmail account to my own email address Once that was done he had unblocked my account and i was able to get into the VM browser Then i had to generate a new password for outlook It didn’t work at first so i had to generate another one which did work That took another 35 minutes to resolve I’m so fed up with having to do this 8 times this year which is why I’m going to the ombudsman
