Could just be VMs webmail site, it's notoriously poor/flaky.

Get yourself a Gmail address Ken, much better and no email client required.

I have to admit, I rarely check mine, as I set up auto-forward to my Gmail account- but when I do check it, I seem to be fortunate that I don’t have any problems

Re: New mail programme

Use a proper client like Thunderbird. Transparently collect mail
in the background at regular intervals (I have it set for every 10 minutes) from multiple accounts with different providers. All mail kept locally both sent and received. Can be backed up if needed.

Once set up forget flaky webmail.

No it wouldn't, heero wasn't saying change your email address but I believe you have been advised before to move away from Virginmedia webmail to someone like Gmail or Outlook and this is definitely the best thing to do in the long term.

Sending 1 email to all your friends advising them of a change shouldn't be a problem and you still have access to your crappy virginmedia email account in case someone doesn't update your email.

Any idea, please

If your Outlook client does not support Modern Authentication, you will need to upgrade to the latest version and then setup using Outlook.com Sync. You can either purchase a new Outlook License, use the Outlook that is included in your Microsoft 365 subscription, or  download Outlook for Windows for free. 

You can download it from the link below, but you have to have Win10 or above as your Operating System

Re: New mail programme

I have got that, I understand Outlook Clasisc uses POP mail so what I need to know is how to convert POP mail to IMAP format.

Why?

The link I posted included

After your download the new email app, add your accounts and they will all be configured to use Modern Authentication and sync properly, helping keep them safe.

It also stated the modern outlook won’t support IMAP…

Quote:

If your Outlook is configured to connect to Outlook.com using POP or IMAP, Modern Authentication is not supported. This means that when Basic Authentication is fully deprecated, it will no longer connect. 

If you use the new App, you won’t need Outlook Classic

They are not mail formats, they are different protocols (methods) for fetching your emails from the server.

Microsoft seem determined to make it as difficult as possible to access your email, a good reason to dump it.
