How do I close an ntlworld email account?

[slicendice73]

Hi

My g/f used to be a VM customer when they used to be ntlworld and so had an ntlworld email address. This address has remained active for years even though I believe they usually get shut down after you're no longer a customer. It's now no longer possible to login to this email account using the normal VM email login page (just gives the message "We didn’t recognise the email or password you entered. Please try again"). It is possible to log in to it via mail2web.com though...not quite sure how that works?!

Anyway, she'd like the account to be shut down but isn't sure how to do it. Can someone advise on how to do this?

Thanks

@slicendice73  The email account is in a 'limbo' state which suggests that it has been partially deleted.  The VM Forum Team should be able to assist with getting it fully deleted when they reach this thread.

They will need to contact the account holder in order to do so.  Can your g/f create a community account and post on this thread so that the team can contact her?

Hi there @silcendice73

Thank you so much for your post and welcome back to the forums! 

A big thank you to @Graham_A for their advise already here and for pointing out that we would need to speak with the account holder in order to close this email. 

Is the account holder able to post to this thread so we can take a look for them?

Thank you.

Hi @JS12345JS 

Welcome to the community forums. 

Sorry to hear that you haven't been able to close your ntlworld email. 

Just to confirm, the email is not connected as the primary username/access for a active broadband account at all?

Hello

No it is not, used to be a long time ago however I no longer used the email account and apparently is sending out spam email to the contacts now.

please close down.

thanks
