I'm not sure which steps you are following but what happens when your try these:

You need to do a password reset to unlock the account.

To do that you need to sign into the "My Virgin Media" account for the Ntlwoltd email account. Enter the Ntlworld address here https://www.virginmedia.com/my-virgin-media   and then enter the current password when prompted.

Then click on the "Account settings" tab, then the "Account details" tab.

Then scroll down the Account Details page to the SIgn In details section you will see "Password"  and you need to click on Edit on the right had side and follow the instructions,

Unfortunately, VM now insists that you have to use a non VM email address as the Username to access your VM email account so you will then be taken through that process. Once you have specified the non VM email account to use to sign into your Ntlworld address, VM will then send a verification email to that non VM account.

VM say they have made that change to improve the security of VM email accounts.

Try that and see how it goes.

hello

I have been unable to access my email account since Tuesday.  The message I get is that my email is unavailable and when I go through the different steps I am then told that my email address is not valid.

Can anyone help?

Thank you

Hello 

I have been unable to access my ntlworld email account since Tuesday.  Apparently it is no longer available, even though I had been using it as my main contact email.

Can anyone help me restore it?  Thank you

Hello Coenoby

I have followed your instructions, but when iI put in my ntlworld.com email address, it says 'Sorry, you can’t change your sign in details to a @ntlworld.com email address, please choose a different email'.  When I put in my gmail.com address that works straight away, but connects me to my gmail, not ntlworld account, which is what I use, or had been using, daily.  So all my emails have been lost.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thank you
