See below for some reasons why setting up a VM broadband account to try to get back a VM email mailbox is probably not a great idea in the long run.
See this other post from one mailbox user who regained temporary access for a data rescue mission by speaking to ICO and the the DPO at VM
No guarantees this would work for others in the future though due to the randomness of outcomes when dealing with VM. Reporting the issue to ICO is worth it IMO if for no other reason than putting it on the ICO radar that VM still seems to be deleting some mailboxes without notification.

Are you currently a VM broadband customer?
VM is currently engaged in deleting a lot of legacy mailboxes which are not linked to an active VM broadband account

No im not a VM customer 😞 gutted as I’ve had this email forever

Did you receive a warning email from VM that the mailbox was being closed? Many on here have been getting 30 day notifications prior to the mailbox closing?

I don’t recall but get so much junk I could have missed it 😞

Hi jewelspeak,
Thank you for your post. We're sorry to hear about the issue with your email address.
To confirm, do you have an active Virgin Media broadband account?

Thank you Martin for connecting in - no I’m not a VM customer.
i can see other people advising we should have got emails about ceasing the service but I can’t find any.
All my personal business is connected to this account and I’m going crazy - please help/advise
