Hi, you need to go back and edit your post to remove your email addresses. Not a good idea to put your details on a public forum because spammers and scammers will emerge from the ether and pick them up to use against you.

I have asked the forum moderators to do the necessary in case you cannot edit the post.

Sorry about the personnel info but having to come in from in a unusual way, it was worth the risk as all the password ,email address  i used are already in the public arena due to hacks from other sources.

however still 7 days  now and still unable to singe in to email ,so still waiting for some action besides warning about hackers

Sit tight here. One of the Forum Team (VM employees) will pick up on your post, although being the Bank Holiday weekend that may take a day or so. 😉

They will contact you through this forum and arrange to get the necessary details from you privately. They will then arrange to get the account unlocked for you.

Hello mina75

Sorry to hear of the email access issue but we appreciate you making us aware of this via the forums.

You mentioned you get a message advising you to try again in an hour, is this via an app or on a desktop? If via desktop are you able to try on a different browser or try deleting the cache?

When were you last able to access the email account? 

Thanks

Rob

hi have tried chrome ,and the browser for mac, as well as my usual Firefox and always the same message , even from a different computer, and mobile phone

Have deleted history and  cookies which has caused me other problems in other areas .and have sent a message daily via your complaints form .have run viruses checkers and am sure the fault is your end

,As you see i can access you via my wife's account, even though i seem to have forgotten my sign in for  my account in forum and email that have been sent to change sign in details to my google account don't arrive

its now nine day without  being able  to access emails

Thanks for letting us know.

Are you able to access your email via webmail rather than using a client? 

Just in case you can't, I'll send you a private message requesting some more details so I can take a closer look.

I'll speak to you there.

Thanks

Melissa

Have just reloaded OSS for mac as the computer started playing up ,possibly due to  my attempts to access virginmedia.com. and I suddenly had 20 snap shots on hard drive .

Only mentioning as trying to give you as much info as possible as ,if nothing else it would be nice to know if the email box still actually exist on virgin, or whether it is my computor which i doubt

[Melissa_F]

Ah okay thank you.

Have you seen my private message? You can speak to me there 🙂

Your original post implied you are seeing the mailbox unavailable message when accessing webmail.  If this is indeed the case then the Forum Team staff will need to unlock the mailbox for you.

I am disappointed that this has not already been discussed with you by the forum team.  Assuming you have replied to the PM that Melissa sent you earlier, they should now be able to arrange it.

It is very unlikely to be an issue with your equipment.
