Emails and VPN
My VM e-mails recently stopped working when I have my VPN enabled. My other e-mails accounts (Yahoo, iCloud, etc.) work fine with VPN. After a 20 minute call to VM Customer Support, I have now been informed that VM e-mail does not support VPN connections! I'm pretty sure that they mean "no longer supports VPN connections". Hopefully, this facility will be restored soon.
Temporarily blacklisted IP Address
My Ntlworld email stopped arriving. At the same time my wife's email stopped. Both said that the passwords were invalid. We changed our passwords - my wife had to move to a VMo2 ID. We generated APP passwords and put them in - no change. I rang help desk in India - they said that the problem is that they do not support NTLWORLD addresses any more. I said that was amazing and asked for it to be escalated. The assistant arranged for me to to be called by his supervisor the following day (Sunday) at 9 to 9:30. Then I noticed on my Macbook i had a different message - Temporary blacklisted IP Address. I checked on this forum and found that I could access my mail by using my iPhone as a hotspot and it worked. I could also access the email via the browser. No supervisor rang between 9 and 9:30, so I rang at 10, to find it hasn't been escalated. I was asked to clear browser cache/ reboot the router etc. etc. I then asked to be escalated to their supervisor, who again said they could not help as support has been dropped for NTLWORLD Addresses. He said they had been told that the domain had been turned off and this means that no emails will get through any more. I filled in a security report and forwarded it to the VM security team. I want to know what the "suspicious activity" was and asked that they lift the blacklist. This is the third time this has happened admittedly the last time was two years ago, when my solicitor sent me a message that was encrypted internally.Creating an app password for a secondary account.
Hello, I have a blueyonder email address and want to set it up on my new phone on the Outlook app. I cannot see a way of accessing the app password with the new O2 sign in system. My account is a secondary account - my father is the main account holder. I can log into "my virgin media" on my laptop. I click account settings, then virgin media mail settings. This takes me through to my Virgin Media O2 ID settings. When I click manage linked accounts, there is no option to change my app password, instead, it only says "add your virgin media account". If I go through this process, it attempts to transfer the main account to me, rather than adding my secondary account. If we log into the main account, it only lets you change the app password of the main email address, rather than any of the secondary email addresses. Any assistance would be gratefully received!
Change log in email address - how do I do i?
Hi My wife has used a school email address as the login email for her virginmedia email account She is to leave this job soon and so will loose access to this account , which is needed for security confirmation etc What needs to be done to change the log in email address? Has anyone done this - and how easy/ difficult was it? Thanks "camper"Cannot change email on ID
Hi all I made the mistake of linking my Virign and O2 accounts and now that is coming home to roost. My Virgin account uses an at virginmedia.com email address and although I have managed to add a new email account as the ID, I can't verify the email, the system keeps saying, sorry, can't verify that email address right now. I don't know what the real problem is but I suspect it isn't the validation system being down as I can validate backup emails. Anyway, does anyone know who I can contact to resolve this as my old virgin email is making it impossible to do anything on O2, when validating they are using the primary email to send contracts to and I don't have access to that. A pictute is better than any text so here we go, anyone know who I can contact to get this fixed, I just want to verify the email, I tried the chat but that was less than useless and they just gave me a dodgy number to callManaging multiple @blueyonder.co.uk accounts
I have an active Virgin Media account (I'm a broadband customer), and for years have had four @blueyonder.co.uk email addresses used by myself and three other family members associated with that account. All four accounts are regularly used. After the transition to VMO2, I've linked my new VMO2 ID to my Virgin Media account. I'm able to manage my (the primary) @blueyonder.co.uk email account app password through https://www.virginmediao2.co.uk/identity/id-settings/my-accounts using ID Settings->Virgin Media Account->Manage email app password. However, I can't see any way to manage the @blueyonder.co.uk email accounts used by my other family members (e.g. to change the app password). Some of those family members have their own VMO2 IDs (because they're O2 mobile customers), but unless I'm wrong it doesn't seem possible to link those IDs to the single common household Virgin Media account which I manage, and hence there seems no way for those members to manage their own @blueyonder.co.uk app password. Help! Surely there must be a way to do this.
