it's not even pop compliant. it doesn't delete emails you tell it to.
the virgin groups are full with people complaining about the mess.
I think the majority don't need the new features. I'd say the majority just needed it simple as it was.
even having to use recent: so you can check emails from any computer is a job in itself.
When you do get changed over to Google mail. don't be suprised when you get a whole load of very old emails that you thought you had deleted off the server turn up in your mail box.
that shouldn't have happened. they shouldn't exist. they should have been deleted off the server, but someone has been holding onto them.

One big balls up?
I hardly think so. The issues of a few people on the VM newsgroups do not make this "one big balls up".
So I may get a few old emails back? No biggie, I can manage that, and I get the benefits of:
7GB storage.
Full SSL pop3/SMTP compliance.
Better spam filtering, possibly, although the ntlworld.com system is pretty good.
A stable platform. (Go check those newsgroups again and look at the complaints they had prior to this new system).
All-in-all this is a major improvement in my opinion. I've had a Gmail address for a number of years now, I can't see this being a balls up, aside from the odd migration glitch.
Bring it on.

Don't worry about it friend, there are always good reasons for these minor issues. Sadly when some people see the chance to associate it with Virgin Media, their like a dog with an old bone.
