Still no email access

As requested by Mod Team. posting again re the issues. Support team say they were resolved, but they're ongoing here. 

Since Thursday evening, cannot access mail - server unreachable/ time out messages. 

Have tried various browsers, devices, password changes etc with no luck. 

What did work on my phone was turning off Wi-Fi. Unable to use mobile data / hotspot with laptop though as signal is poor indoors (plus that would be a workaround, not a fix!) Appears to be an issue Virgin has with my network? Aware this applies to others too as got this workaround from this board.

Received a text message from a company asking if my mail is down as they've been trying to mail me, but it's been bouncing back.

the issues identified by support definitely haven't been resolved, sadly = would appreciate any help!

Can you explain what you mean by app mail address?  If you are referring to the third party email username then that has nothing to do with accessing your Ntlworld email address via an email client or app.  It shouldn't appear anywhere in the app settings.

The third party email username is only used to login to My Virgin Media and VM webmail.

yes, ir's a 3rd party email username, used to log in to my ntlworld account, the email from my primary ntlworld  account was sent to [MOD EDIT: Removed]  This is the address of the account I'm having the issues with . The undeliverable message showed the 3rd party mail address, nt the ntlworld address it was sent to . The email did however reach the problem ntlworld account which I can still access on mobile data.

As suggested earlier this all points to you having incorrectly included the third party email address somewhere in the account settings most likely as the return email address or possibly the account username.  This would explain the undeliverable messages that you are seeing.

Thanks - I only ever used that address  as the third party address when signing up for the app password, and to log in to my VM account and webmail thereafter. all was well until the issue last week with signing in .

I can see my colleague has already been helping you on this 🙂
