WTF, I am just getting mail from virgin

manofdevon · 24-01-2010, 12:00

I have had a virgin mail setup(blueyonder account for around 3 years) and today my outlook express showed around 12 mails I had posted January last year from virgin email set up (I had sent them to myself as test postings) and they have arrived around 12 months later.

Also forum notifications are starting to arrive on virgin mail but have never done so before.

So what as happened?

This has.

Thanks.

It only took them three years to setup.

So what do I do, I have got used to working with O/E and will continue to use that but the mail will pile up at virgin email?

Can I close the email account down?

You can still use O/E, you will need to change your account settings.

This link doesn't seem to work any more, but it will get you started.

Thanks Toto.

Never have understood setting up email operating systems, so will do a study and learn.

I think the steps for the most popular email programs are there, and looks fairly comprehensive.

Royal mail can do better than that;
