Re: VirginMedia offers enhanced service with Googlemail

Virgin Media E-mail help.

What happens to my email address when it's moved to the Google email service?

In short, there’s no change to your address. Your existing address will carry on working, and we’re not making anyone an @virginmedia.com email address just to use the service. You can continue to use your existing address if you want. After your mailbox has been moved to the Google platform, you will be able to choose whether you want to change to an @virginmedia.com address.
This, along with the Press Release indicate that you cannot have even a single @ntlworld.com address alongside an @virginmedia.com address.

Can everybody remember every time that they have referred to a particular e-mail address when using a website and be able to change the address. Where people have to specify an e-mail address for future possible contact(eg a competition), that will fail if they change to a @viginmedia.com address because the old address is no longer valid.

Will I get a virginmedia.com email address?

Yes! In the near future we'll be making @virginmedia.com email addresses available to all customers. Before we do, we'll send you an email giving you all the information you need, and let you know if there's anything you need to do. When we do make @virginmedia.com addresses available, you'll still be able to keep your ntlworld.com, blueyonder.co.uk or virgin.net address, or get a Virgin Media address, or both! The choice is yours. More info on our new email service
Which contradicts all this and says you can have both @ntlworld.com and @virginmedia.com. Mind you this was published in Feb 2007(over two years ago) and is from a CF thread from August 2007.
