Urgent access needed to and old email

Hello,

Around a year ago I stopped being a virgin media customer. A long with this, my email account was terminated. It should be noted that I was given no warning of this, which would have been convenient. 

However, I really need access to this old email account to retrieve important login details for an account. I am asking that access can be given to my email account once again, even just for a small window of time. This is an urgent matter. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I am afraid that once an email address has been deleted it cannot be re-enabled, as well as that you have been informed in the T&C that once you leave Virginmedia you email account will remain for 90 days. The Virginmedia staff will be unable to help you. You email address was an orphan have a look at these posts https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Email/Orphan-Email-accounts/td-p/3492073 https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Email/Closure-of-former-customer-email-accounts/m-p/4092021

So I can’t even look at my emails just for a very short period of time? Not even to look at or change some details?

Hello

I am afraid that the systems that Virginmedia will not allow them to re-activate a deleted email without an account attached, as well if the email address has been deleted then due to GDPR it cannot be re-activated or used again.

So it’s possible to reactivate the email, but only if I’m a virgin media customer?

Hello

If deleted then it cannot be re-activated or used again. I am afraid there is no solution for you.

It's nothing to do with Richard Branson, and hasn't been for many years.  Virgin Media is owned by Liberty Global, not Virgin Group.
