When you try to connect an app to your mailbox you will need to use an app password generated from within 'My VM' for the mailbox in question

Thanks again for your help....today is d day and I'm at work from 7.30 on split shifts thru to 9 tonight so hoping to goodness I can make good use now of the last few hours before midnight tonight ....whatever the outcome I'm truly grateful for you taking time to reply - my virgin.net is the email I've used since the 1990s and the contact for EVERYTHING.....totally exhausted from days of trying to move emails, sort emails etc and useless bots on any number of service provider sites as I've struggled to change contact/security there to something new...Thanks again - this whole situation may end up with creating a whole new life
