Hi @Graham1967  

Thanks for posting on our community forum and sorry to hear about the issue with your email

Have you been able to check on the above tips from the very helpful Graham_A? Please do give this a try if so and let me know how you get on 

Regards

I am somewhat confused do I need to setup a new app style password i.e AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD for all my extra virgin media email addresses or is that just for the primary email.

[Graham_A]

@Graham1967 Each email address will need an app password generating for use with email clients.

When adding additional accounts to a VM webmail account as shown in your screen shot VM webmail is acting as an email client for the additional accounts.

Hi @Graham1967 

Thanks for your post and sorry to hear about the issue with your mail

Has the above from Graham_A enabled you to set this up now?

[Graham1967]

Hi unfortunate issues remains. If a forum team member can kindly message me direct to resolve would be appreciated as will need to go through log -in.

Sorry to hear the issues are not resolved, Graham1967.

Can you please advise if you've tried resetting the App passwords for the addresses in query and you're still getting an error with accessing the mailbox using the new passwords?
If so, what error do you face and have you also updated the email settings on the client App (outlook etc) for all the email accounts to make sure they're up to date?

Cheers,

Thanks for checking in on me. H managed to simply fix the issue (goes back to VM email issues in May) by deleting  the email address displaying error symbol and then re-adding them. Did not have to  change passwords.

One issue I do have is when I did try to re-set app password for the individual VM email addresses was asking me "my favourite city" which I have never used as a security question!. Am I best to phone support to resolve this?
