403 forbidden error & Geo-locking
Is there geo-locking on the IP address(es) used to access VirginMedia's WebMail and the MyVirginMedia websites? Or similar restrictions based on ip address / http headers/metadata? The reason for asking is that I was recently travelling abroad, and was initially able to send and receive email using the webmail site. Then something happened and I was unable to connect and got a 403 error when using My Account pop up links on the top right of https://virginmedia.com to "Sign in to My Virgin Media" and "Sign in to My Email": The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator. Your support ID is g-u-i-d Error 403 - Forbidden F5 site: pa2-par I was not prompted for a username or password, so it seems unrelated to a particular account. Same error on different devices (iPad and Android phone) on the same wifi network. Clearing cookies made no difference. On returning to the UK, the same device magically started working again. Feel free to reply by private message if this reveals some aspect of network security you do not wish to reveal to everyone. I really would like to know why I was unable to get the service I have paid for. The inability to receive email when abroad was extremely frustrating.74Views0likes5Comments403 forbidden error
I get a 403 forbidden error attempting to access email or my account from the My Account pop up links on the top right of https://virginmedia.com . I am using Both Chrome and Safari on iPad. I was able to access email ok until some point last week. I am using a North American ip address. Note that I am not prompted for a username and password, so the account reset hints elsewhere in this forum are not applicable. Error messages follows: The requested URL was rejected.

Hi, I have just realised I still have an Ntlworld email that seems to still be receiving messages. There’s a lot of junk in there and it’s been years since I used it so for security, I just want it fully closed down. I don’t recall the log in details but can still access from my phone. Does anyone know how to just fully shut it down? I haven’t been a virgin media customer for year so I’m surprised the account still exists! thanks49Views0likes2CommentsHow do I access/manage email aliases?
It would be nice if VirginMedia/O2 issued clear instructions regarding VM/O2 Identity creation for management of email aliases. At the moment, I have successfully created a VM/O2 ID for my primary account, I can log in OK and access/manage the primary email account. I also have several aliases, which at the moment are all able to receive and send emails via my PC and mobile clients. However there seems to be no way to be able to manage these additional aliases via the primary account, which used to be the case before VM/O2 decided to wind up the email service. My email aliases have multiple uses all over the web, (logins, registrations etc) and losing them and having to substitute "third party addresses" would be a nightmare! I have read alsewhere that a separate VM/O2 ID needs to be created for each alias. So, my questions are 1 ) If it aint broke, should I fix it? (In other words, since everything is working OK just now, do I need to create VM/O2 IDs for each alias?). More importantly, will the alias email addresses remain the same if I do?) 2) If YES, how do I do this safely without screwing up my primary login and/or all the aliases!! Clear instructions please! 3) If NO, (which seems to be the case since everything works (for now), how long have I got before I am forced to create these ID thingys (which seem totally unnecessary to me) Kind Regards Dave NashSolved130Views0likes5CommentsDeliberately delayed access to email accounts??!
Can someone tell me why Virgin Media are deliberately delaying my access to my primary email address *@virginmedia.com address? Virgin, are you that incompetent and so determined to procrastinate (DELIBERATE DELAY) a fix for this most frustrating problem! I have waited 2 weeks so far! STOP DELIBERATELY DELAYING AND PULL YOUR FINGERS OUT!!!!!439Views1like17CommentsForbidden 403 - usual response doesn't work
I have been Forbidden access to my webmail (@ntlworld.com) for about a week. In the past, resetting the password has always remedied the problem - but not this time. I have done this five times - from different kit (desktop, laptop) and browsers (Firefox, Chrome) but to no effect. What else can I try?Solved106Views0likes2CommentsEmail login page won't load
I'm trying to log in to my email but when I to go to the VM home page it loads then almost immediately the page disappears and I'm left with a blank screen. I've tried from the main homepage and the email landing page (myvmo2). This has been like this for almost a week, can anyone suggest what the problem could be please. It has been working OK up until a week ago (usual slowness etc), nothing has changed at my end - same OS, same browser etc. As an aside, when I tried to publish this post I kept getting this message - "Content Not Published Your post contains invalid HTML. Remove the following invalid tags before publishing: span (aria-level)" no idea what it means and no way of finding out. Had to retype post into a text file and copy an paste it back into this post217Views0likes13CommentsUnlinking An Account From a VMO2 ID
Is it possible to unlink an account from a VMO2 ID? I cannot gain access to two of the three email addresses, I am told I still have, as webmail. Apparently I have a 'sub-user' account linked to my ID and not an 'Admin' one. I'm hoping I can get a straight answer here. I spent an hour and a half on the phone yesterday and for the last half hour someone in 'support' with remote access to my PC messed about on it getting nowhere fast. He said he would stop the call and phone me back 'in a minute'. I'm still waiting. It seems to me the whole setting up a VMO2 ID exercise has been designed, at worst, to weed out so called 'Orphaned' accounts and instigate a mass closure of customers' mailboxes. It best, it is designed to so frustrate email users that they will give up hope of ever seeing their mailboxes again and move elsewhere. Please someone, prove me wrong.83Views1like2CommentsUnable to access virgin.net email
I’ve been unable to login to my Virgin.net email since mid July as it was not associated with a live Virgin Media account as I login using my Apple email. Had many long calls with VM to associate my live VM account with my old Virgin.net email and they say they have now added to Virgin.net email to my account. Was also asked to change my Apple login to a 3rd party account, so I changed it to my Gmail email. Still unable to login and it was left that technical would be looking at this, never heard anything back so called yesterday. Was told that was an outage on all Virgin emails and to try again in 72 hours but I am not holding up much hope. Anyone got any other other ideas?330Views0likes10Comments
