Now do the sensible thing and move your email away from your ISP, atleast the important stuff.

We're making some essential changes
We’re doing some work on My Virgin Media at the moment as part of an upgrade to provide you with an even better service.
We're sorry this part of the site isn’t available at the moment. Everything will be back to normal again soon, so please come back and try again shortly.
Email isn't affected, so you can send and receive messages as normal.... Bollocks to that it is down for me.

l just phoned customer services and after l told her clearly what the problem was her security questions staggered me as first of all she wanted my bank sort code and then after l politely refused as l told her this is not a question she should be asking and then she asked me how much our bill is each month which is another question they should be asking as all they ask for is a security passward.
And to it that she clearly had no idea what she was talking about as well and this is the worse customer service call in my time as a customer.
Clueless and not knowing what she was doing is being nice to her.

Why don't you install an email client instead of relying on webmail?
Thunderbird is a good one that comes to mind.

I've just logged in via the email link, i selected my email ends in virginmedia so try that.
If your email address ends in @virginmedia.com click here

Re: Can't access my eMail
I've used Thunderbird as mail client for years. Thoroughly recommend. Never use the webmail interface.

Re: Can't access my eMail
I recommend moving away from an ISP email for most of your stuff, move to something like gmail or outlook because if it goes tits up or you move isp you can quickly get stuffed.

Big advantage of using an email client is that mail, both received and sent is stored locally on your PC. You'll never loose it if the ISP goes belly up, you have no internet, or you change plus you can easily copy/update mailboxes from machine to machine or backup.
