My email account doesnt seem to be receiving emails

I'm aware from a few emails recently that someone is trying to hack into a few of my accounts. He successfully did so in my argos account. Suddenly , and I don't know if its a coincidence, my email inbox isnt receiving any more emails. I can send them out but I'm not receiving any. I've reset my password but it's hasn't helped.

Any thoughts?

I had some trouble with someone hacking my account. I found out my emails were been forwarded on to another unknown address. Sorted that and thought all was well. Now I cant access my email from my app or browser. Just says Sorry.....check back in an hour

Any thoughts?

I've done that already.. I found a strange email address in my forward email link. I reset it with another email i have and all worked fine. I then decided to delete it, so i could get email to my primary account, and all seemed to work for awhile. Then it just stopped. It's still not working

@KennyKet  It is likely that the VM security department noticed the forwarding filters and locked the account.

If the change of password to a new unique one hasn't unlocked the email account then wait for the VM Forum Team to respond later this evening or tomorrow.

Yes I reset my account this afternoon. Email worked ok but i forwarded it on to my gmail account. I changed it back to my virgin account and it worked for awhile then stopped.

I'm going to drop you a private message now, please keep an eye on your inbox.
