My emails are coming through fine in My VM.

My email address ends ntlworld.com if that makes any difference.

TIA
If you are using a new device or have reinstalled Thunderbird then there is a new(ish) password requirement when using all third party apps. Only VM webmail and legacy logins on third party apps still allows ongoing access with the original passwords. VM are distancing themselves from e-mail use and apparently plan to end the service at some point.
