Is email down right now?
Hi Virgin. Have you broken the email again? Getting the following message: The attempt to read data from the server “imap.virginmedia.com” failed. Lots of reports on down detector.co.uk (over a 1,000) with 57% saying email is a problem. Perhaps a pinned post at the top of the forum would help?Solved280Views0likes6CommentsSpam not spam
Is it just me? For the past few days/week, pretty much all of my emails are going to the Spam folder. It doesn't matter where it's from, new contacts, "news letters", notices, everything. NTLWorld address, working (almost) perfectly for more years than I care to contemplate. Although I access emails via a mobile 'phone app normally, even if I go to the VM site from a browser, there they are.399Views0likes4CommentsVirgin Media Spam filtering?
So what is the story of VM email spam filtering? It is absolutely shocking... I have an old @ntlworld.com email (if that matters).. and I get WAY to much spam getting through. I am talking the most obvious spam you can imagine ... and it gets through, while other legitimate emails, from legitimate people/companies (e.g. Microsoft with updated user terms) and even Virgin Medias own emails (yes.. real genuine ones, not the spams ones (that do get through) ) Get flagged as SPAM and not passed on to my email client (Outlook). Also, I can blacklist... but cant whitelist... whats with that? So who do VM contract through to manage their email? is there any chance it will improve? as it is current situation is appalling.Solved1.9KViews1like9CommentsSpam, scam and using my email address as sender
It's long been the case that some scam emails look as though they have been sent from email addresses you recognise, but the underlying sender details show otherwise. I've started to see a couple of scam emails that really do look like they have been sent by me from my ntlworld email. I can't see any other sending email address in there. I've no other evidence of my email address being hacked and I have a strong secure and unshared password. It's not impossible, but it seems unlikely. Is there a way to tell what's happening from say the source code on email or something else to look for?5KViews0likes10CommentsNew Levels of Spam
Hi All, Over the past 2 weeks there has been a significant step up i the amount of SPAM. I realise that its Christmas so the people sending this up probably step up their efforts - but surely VM should be catching these obvious mails and stop them at source.. Is anyone else seeing this? For interest.. they are pretending to be from Temu, Boots, Sainsburys, TV licencing, Screwfix etc etc In each case, apparently, I have won a prize!! Garbage, of course.1.1KViews0likes5Comments
