It starts to get complicated I know and we have had training on this as well.  |
How many people have more than 10 @ntlworld.com addresses?
The questions were as I see it:-
1) will people be forced in time over to the new @virginmedia.com address and not have access to your old style address. Answer is no they wont be forced and the old style address will be on the new platform.
2) will it be possible to have and old style address(eg@ntlworld.com)
at the same time as having a new @virginmedia.com address on the new Google platform. The answer to this prior to any mention of the Google platform was yes, but that was two years ago. The Press Release and the
VM email help on the email changes say no.

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.

The phrase used is 'change to', this does not suggest that you can have your existing address at the same time as a new @virginmedia.com address. Will people be able to have a
joe.bloggs@ntlworld.com and a
joe.bloggs@vriginmedia.com at the same time in order to avoid problems from having organisations having your old address? Is there a link that can confirm this one way or the other?
