Can't access my eMail
 
I can NOT access my mail since Virgin did some updates yesterday...They did the same darn thing in 2015..Do they not learn lessons from their mistakes. ? I get this page instead "OX APP SUITE" which will NOT sign me in..I get the same ruddy page when I go to "My Virginmedia" ..

Any idea why & when it will be fixed....I in Swansea the cwm area.. Thanks

No problems here using Thunderbird as e-mail client. Is it just webmail that's the problem?

Generally seems ok in Outlook 2019 but occasionally 1 of my 2 accounts throws up an error collecting the mail, but then if i collect it again it works.

Luckily i don't use ISP email for anything important anymore, best to stay away from it.

Now do the sensible thing and move your email away from your ISP, atleast the important stuff.

We're making some essential changes
We’re doing some work on My Virgin Media at the moment as part of an upgrade to provide you with an even better service.

We're sorry this part of the site isn’t available at the moment. Everything will be back to normal again soon, so please come back and try again shortly.

Email isn't affected, so you can send and receive messages as normal.... Bollocks to that it is down for me.

l just phoned customer services and after l told her clearly what the problem was her security questions staggered me as first of all she wanted my bank sort code :mad::mad: and then after l politely refused as l told her this is not a question she should be asking and then she asked me how much our bill is each month :mad::mad: which is another question they should be asking as all they ask for is a security passward.

And to it that she clearly had no idea what she was talking about as well and this is the worse customer service call in my time as a customer.

Clueless and not knowing what she was doing is being nice to her.

Why don't you install an email client instead of relying on webmail?

Thunderbird is a good one that comes to mind.

I've just logged in via the email link, i selected my email ends in virginmedia so try that.

If your email address ends in @virginmedia.com click here

I've used Thunderbird as mail client for years. Thoroughly recommend. Never use the webmail interface.

Yes it seems alright so far heero.

Re: Can't access my eMail
 
I recommend moving away from an ISP email for most of your stuff, move to something like gmail or outlook because if it goes tits up or you move isp you can quickly get stuffed.

Big advantage of using an email client is that mail, both received and sent is stored locally on your PC. You'll never loose it if the ISP goes belly up, you have no internet, or you change plus you can easily copy/update mailboxes from machine to machine or backup.

Yes absolutely i use Outlook 2019, my point was actually using an ISP email is not a good idea anymore for important stuff atleast, i see so many posts over the years where the ISP has done something to try and fix an issue and it has lost the customers emails or address or the customer forgot to transfer when moving ISPs.

I learnt years ago not to use an ISP email. I now have 3 independent ones that follow me wherever I go ISP wise. Contact lists are also synced across all 3.

Yes my gmail contact list is safe as that is online, so any mobile device gets its contacts from there rather than a storing on a mobile sim.

Some people still store all there contacts on the sim!
