That error message normally also specifies the affected email address. Don't post the address here
The first thing to try is to see if you can clear the problem by resetting the password.
Sign in from this link https://my.virginmedia.com/home/signIn using the affected VM email address and existing password of the account. That will take you to the relevant "My Virgin Media" account for that email address.
Then click on the "Update settings" tab and then the "Account details" tab. Scroll down that page and you will see a place to edit the password. While you are on that page, make sure you set up a Password Recovery Question that should ensure you can use the Forgotten Password route in future.
If you can that you will have updated the password on the VM server and you now need to enter that password into the settings of the email client or VM webmail account that gave you that error message. The wording of the error suggests you are accessing this email account via VM webmail.
If so, sign into the webmail account as your usually do, click on the cog symbol then on Accounts.
You should see a list of the email address you manage through webmail. Find the one that's giving you that problem and click on edit.
Scroll down the page and enter the new password in the Incoming server section.
Post back if you still have problems or cannot follow what I have posted.

Hi
I am having the same problem, first noticed via a send/receive error in Outlook..
"Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for 'myemailaddress'@ntlworld.com.' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for 'myemailaddress'@ntlworld.com. Error: Cannot connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).' "
I've tried to log into webmail and while I can get into the account, when I go to email for this second email address it gives the error message
"The entered credential or authentication information does not work or are no longer accepted by provider. Please change them."
I haven't changed my credentials recently, so can't work out...
1. why it's having an issue
2. what to do to gain access again (it's been down since 15th Dec, I was giving it chance to resolve itself)
Many thanks
Ali

Hi Ryan
I have tried to follow the steps suggested above and can log in using the credentials but it says the emails aren't available so try changing your password, and I end up in a loop of sign in, oops, a mixture of red and then purple screens.
I can see the server details for incoming and outgoing but when I enter my password it says the credentials are not right.
I don't understand why it's changed nor what to do to get my emails back.... HELP!!!
