If I access my emails via VM Webmail recently on a win10 PC it’s very slow to respond.
Emails take a while to load up, trying to reply to any brings up a Compose screen and a whirling icon, but that just spins. I end up with a load of draft messages that I struggle to delete. If lucky enough to get past that stage it sometimes struggles to send.
And occasionally can’t connect to server problem messages appear.
emails work fine via iPad/iPhone but sometimes I need to use desktop for better formatting of replies.
This has started in last 24 hours. Is there a central issue?

Does the Service Status page show any issues in your area?

It doesn’t. But I saw that as more general broadband connection issues. My broadband is fine on other devices and the desktop, other than when trying to use VM webmail. I didn’t think that would show on service status. And no issues are reported anyway.

Issue has been flagged to the forum team who are best placed to help further; be aware it can take them a few hours or days to respond, though it is usually the former.

Thanks, it did seem to recover OK. Is a Webmail issue like that likely to be flagged anywhere n the site / under Service Status perhaps so we are aware?

@EG1 The fault did eventually get listed on the service status page on 1 Feb. It was also added as a sticky post here: https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Email/Known-Issue-Email-Disruption-F010434911/td-p/5244530/jump...

The email issues should now be fully resolved over the weekend, are you still having issues with the service right now?

Hi, sorry I didn't see this message a few weeks back and all had been restored.
But today the VM webmail seems to be out of action. I cant get the site / appsuite online to load up. Service Status says Broadband may be down, but I dont have that issue, all is working, this and other sites can be accessed - apart from VM web mail. Any news on how long it'll be out? Will the Service Status page be updated?
