Tuning in

"Your e-mail account xx@ntlworld.com was disabled due to invalid credentials. Please edit the account and enter correct credentials to enable it again"

not able to do this - can't find how to change the password, no help on your useless website, no phone help available. 2 of my accounts working fine and my 3rd one now 'locked/unavailable/credentials wrong' even though used the same set up for all accounts and it was working fine yesterday.

TOTALLY FED UP!
