Re: Problem checking web mail
POP3 & SMTP seems to be working fine (which I use most often) its appears the fault is limit to the Web Access.

Agreed. No problems here using Thunderbird as mail client with the advantage that you have local copies of all the mail.

I personally have used gmail for years and I am very happy with it. I can't speak for other providers, but Outlook is meant to be good as well.

Use both. Use a webmail provider that supports a client - pretty much all of them do. I don't know any that don't.

Re: Problem checking web mail & e-mail
My mail has been playing up. I originally thought it was because I bought a new PC which I had to set up.
I found my passwords in windows live mail using mailpassview. It works a treat.
I also had the virgin info for setting up windows live mail.
My partners a/c was working fine, using live mail or webmail from virgin media.
I had 2 original a/c's @ ntlworld.com they refused to work with webmail but worked with windows live mail. I then set up a new a/c @ virginmedia.com. This will work with webmail only, with live mail it will not work at all. This last week my partners e-mail now refuses to work.
So it would seem to appear that all my troubles are the fault of Virgin and not me.
I do hope peoples answers will get through virgins mail system SOMETIME

Forward your emails to something like Gmail even if VM mail crashes you'll still be able to read them

Re: Problem checking web mail
Virgins utterly useless email system down yet again.

Virgin Media Mail is having trouble sending and receiving emails at the moment, so there might be a bit of a delay.
We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.
Fix estimate

Re: Problem checking web mail
What an absolute farce for a communications company. Have transferd all accounts to Gmail but forgot to do one account (my fault) and its the one I need an email from typical.
Not a week goes by without an issue of one sort or another from Virgin.
