Even if you are wrong?

Why not just use a Gmail account?

Re: Virgin email - spying or nanny?

So basically what you are saying is that you don't want or use VM mail but the only reason you started to do so is that you can start complaining about a rule that doesn't affect you?

Then don't use the VM account if you think their practice reprehensible.After all they will claim that it's a free service supplied with your internet account and as such you have to accept what's on offer.

However VM cannot stop you using what ever other email provider of your choice that doesn't indulge in this behaviour.

I think you just want to have a grump about VM as usual..

No, it was so that people can't say you can't complain about something if you don't use it. and it doesn't affect you.

But you complained about it before you started using it.

I've been with Virgin for a while now. I've used the email many times before now. so I have actually complained long after I started using it.

unless you want to tell me that I have to be using it at least 3 times a day and 5 out of 7 days a week, then can we get back on topic and stop bickering about what are basically silly points that have no relevance to anything?

Re: Virgin email - spying or nanny?

Look if was made so that Gary could have enabled which he thinks he should have enabled blah blah blah. He'd soon be up at arms against VM's mail policies for allowing potential infected attachments to be sent and received.

I refer you all to the below.

I was thinking nannying before. but now that I've discussed it with others I'm thinking snooping as well.
