Don't use an ISP given email. Ever. Never ever ever.

If you do, you're stuck with that ISP as if you leave, you'll lose your address. If you're using a Virgin email address, migrate over to an outlook.com or gmail address now.

Don't put it off because it's a hassle, do it now while you can and not 3 months after you've left Virgin or when Virgin decides to accidentally delete all your mail just because.

And yes, that does happen.

I personally recommend Gmail. You can have it download mail from your old account and even apply a label so you can identify it. Switch now and for the next lot of months when an email comes in via your Virgin address, go and update your details on whatever site sent it.
