There are a number of reasons why you could be having difficulty signing into your virgin media email. Check out the following for the most common solutions.
If you are experiencing virgin medial email sign in problems it could be because you have changed your preferred My Virgin Media login to something other than the email address we gave you when you first joined us. The new login is the one you need to use when you access your Virgin Media Mail account via a browser.
For example, if we gave you the username rbranson@virginmedia.com, and you changed this to rbranson@owndomain.com in My Virgin Media > My Profile, the second address is the one you need to use to sign in to your rbranson@virginmedia.com webmail.
If you use an email client, you need to use your Virgin Media Mail address as the username.
If you use Virgin Media Mail web mail regularly you may have saved the page to your browser.
We recommend accessing your web mail from My Virgin Media, as this also provides links to our other services and information about your Virgin Media account. To do this:
In order to check out the latest Virgin Media Mail features, we suggest that you upgrade your browser to the latest version of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Safari for a faster and better Virgin Media Mail experience.
Unfortunately, if your computer is running Windows XP, you won’t be able to upgrade your IE8 browser to a more modern version, or upgrade your IE9 browser if you are on Windows Vista.
Note: it is possible to use an alternative browser but, as Windows has ended support for XP and will end support for Vista in April 2017, alternative browsers may not always be available. Where possible we highly recommend updating to a supported and secure version of Windows.
