Email App Passwords Suddenly Stop Working
I have been using the Outlook email client to access my virgin media email for a long time. I have changed the app password using the 4-hyphenated password generated under the account details tab several times successfully. Over the last few days the password stopped working and my attempts at using a new app password have failed. When I run the command line prompt: curl -v smtps://smtp.virginmedia.com -u mailto:"username":"app password", I receive the response 235 2.7.0 SMTP350 Authentication successful for user... The only other explanation could be that my IP address has been blocked by the server. However I can access my emails via the Virgin media website. So 2 questions: 1: Why does my app password spontaneously stop working? 2: How can I reconnect via the Outlook app, given that repeated app password changes are not working? Many thanks.Managing 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.VIRGIN ON THE RIDICULOUS
What on earth ARE you doing VIRGIN? Your EMail system is in total disarray! We have three laptops, all up to date on Windows 11 and all using Outlook to access. Each one is now suddenly treating the connection very differently! Only one is now working to a virginmedia mail address, so forget it being only a legacy address issue. That one also still currently works to a very busy ntlworld address used for Freeware user contact. The other two have totally differing actions from the same virginmedia address, one now telling me there is unread mail, but not displaying it on Outlook OR online web access. This does not include one ntlworld connection severed without warning a year ago now, Despite numerous requests, NO help given, NOTHING offered. This was my wife's account used for extensive volunteer work, inc elderly and disabled people access. Killed stone dead without warning. It took months to get an alternative EMail system working elsewhere as many mail recipients just could not cope with the no warning sudden loss of all comms. SO, from other posts here and elsewhere numerous people are increasingly experiencing this sort of disaster from VIRGIN. Well, there IS a next stage if this unhelpful lack of action continues, and that is to go VERY public. Virgin customers might like to be aware that I have in another location due no cable available have SKY inc SKY EMail. Its been faultless.
How to access established (older) email accounts
Like many I needed to access my Virgin Media account to try and fix email issues. After being a customer for over 30 years I had multiple email accounts and now I am struggling to access and fix even 1 off them. When did the system change to the new VMO2 account and password login? Did I miss any information or has this just been very poorly communicated, or even communicated. How does this new system work, what needs to be done to access my Virgin Media account and old ntl world.com emails? I used to have a email linked to my account and from there I could see 5 ntlworld.com email addresses. Now I can’t see or manage anything on those email accounts. How do I add those addresses and change passwords? I try to set up a new VMO2 account but it goes around in circles and doesn’t complete, why? Do I need another non ntlworld email account to set up and access my Virgin Media account and emails? This seems crazy. When I even try to login or create accounts using some of my email addresses they are not recognised as if they don’t exist, yet my older iPad can still access and download messages? Some accounts just constantly give error messages regarding VPN, or access via another machine, error IDF-12B. How do I get around this when I’m trying to set up a new iPad for daily access? I don’t have any O2 accounts, only a Virgin Media account and products. Where are the instructions, how do I get help to fix my accounts and access? Does anybody have definite working instructions.Mail App reads "Forbidden" and won't allow access
To preface, I have recently had difficulties with hackers getting into my ntlworld email account. Following security advice, I have: Signed out of all devices. Changed my password (from a confirmed non-compromised device, just in case), then removed the password in favour of the more secure passkey. Changed my login email to a third party email address. I've also been monitoring the Activity Log for sign ins and not seen any new ones I don't recognise. While I still have access to my Virgin Media O2 account login, when I go to my Mail app page, I am now receiving a "Forbidden" page. I am assuming it's been locked for security reasons. I have seen in other threads that the third party email often fixes this, but I can't see any other way of unlocking this. Can anyone assist?
Change log in email address - how do I do i?

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 callEmail access gone
I have an NTLWORLD.COM email address. I have had it for 25+ years. 2 months ago i lost access to it. I have all sorts of accounts tied to this account. I am missing important hospital correspondence and lost access to tickets for events etc. I have made 9 phone calls to virgin (an absolue nightmare each time) and been messed around horribly. I have been told temporary technical fault. IT are looking at it. 2 months and no one can sort it. I raised a complaint. They said they tried to contact me to resolve it (they didnt try to contact me). They say this every time i reply to the complaint but not a single phone call or missed call. We tried to contact you. Heres a solution, reset your password. This is not a solution. I cannot reset my password. Virgin have reset my password but i cannot access any page to log in. "Customer support" got me to create a new virgin account under a gmail address. They then linked the old email address to the new account. When i click on virgin mail i get a "Page cannot be found" error. The address of the page it cannot find has "invalid credentials" in the link. Under my VMO2 settings, if i click "manage my products", i get a "Something went wrong page" Are they just trying to get me to go away and not have to deal with email any more? No one is addressing it. 9 calls and a complaint, several times being told i will be contacted by tect support but nothing is happening. No one is contacting me. People on complaints dont seem to care though they did offer me a £10 refund. Cheers that will make up for 2 months and counting of no email and lost tickets and who knows what important emails ive missed.
