Lets say i have four e-mail addresses in the "Manage your email" part of the VM website, and the e-mail addresses are as follows.

e-mail 1 < Primary, Default
e-mail 2
e-mail 3
e-mail 4

I can login using e-mail 2 and "Modify" or "Delete" e-mail 3 and4, i can also login using e-mail 3 and "Modify" or "Delete" e-mail 1 and 4, etc, etc, the problem is, i should only be able to login using my primary e-mail address, i should also only be able to modify and delete e-mail addresses using my primary e-mail address.

Has anyone else noticed this issue, also, does anyone else think this is a major problem in regards to VM e-mail security.

Thanks!
If you are talking about ex NTL email (ntlworld), then yes, this issue has always been there. It is considered a feature of the service, and not a very good one in my opinion, but there you have it.

You will probably find that when they amalgamate the email system across Blueyonder, ntlworld and Virgin.net, this "feature" will dissapear. However, you can't delete the primary email address from logging in on addresses 2,3 or 4. (Well I couldn't anyway)
