If i go into Outlook and add the virgin media email account. In the past you only needed to add the password then it would add the email account and download email folders.
Now the only way is to add Pop3 it adds to outlook, but no folders are downloaded
Sometimes it doesn't send but if I changed the primary account to live.com it sends
Tries resetting the password today makes no difference
if I add my wife's virginmedia account it just works ok
It used to work all the time up to three weeks ok approx.

Hi @chorley20,
I'm sorry to hear things still aren't working. Have you made any changes directly to your Email Account before this issue happened? Are you seeing any specific error messages?
Thanks,

Comes up with that three option box
If you choose change then add Pop3 it accepts the password and adds
But no server folders appear

Just to clarify, IMAP and POP3 work in completely different ways.
To keep in simple:
IMAP and POP3 are international standards so they work the sane way with any email client (for example MS Mail) and with any email service (for example Yahoo) that you use.
Looking at your Outlook problem:
"Comes up with that three option box
If you choose change then add Pop"
I have Outlook"
I have Windows 11 and Outlook but I cannot replicate that.
When I click on "Add an account" I don't see a three option box. it actually defaults to setting up a new IMAP account for the email address I've entered. Here's what Microsoft say on their support pages: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-an-email-account-to-outlook
So, as @用心棒 has already said, some screen shots (with your email address obscured) of what you are seeing might be useful.

Enter PASSWORD It used to connect then and load folders
Always fails now, if I choose advanced and POP 3 it accepts my password ok but doesn’t load server outlook folders
Checked Imap ports are right
