VM email , a mess

[MXRod]

Even after almost 24 hrs still not fully stable , messages sent in the last 24 hrs held in linbo at present , due to be forwarded, eventually !

Wow one individual email came through VM from 8am today, a one time password to get me into an online account, only 9 hours too late, bloody shambles...

I couldn't log into mine at all yesterday, today i could log in and I had 208 new emails! in reality it was 6 but each one was duplicated over and over, deleted them all and all my old emails have vanished, hopefully once they have sorted things I will get them back

Guys you really need to move away from VM email, it’s not even a proper email client. Also you can only have a maximum password length of 10 characters.

It’s painful to change your email address everywhere but in the long run you’ll be glad you moved away, plus if/when you ever need to leave VM services the threat of them taking your email address away will mean nothing as you’ll already be gone.

I recommend proton mail.

I agree with you but I just cant be bothered

I've been with VM since the days of NTL so I think most of my contacts would only have the Ntlworld email.

Is there anyway of putting a redirect on the email so it forwards emails to my hotmail account?

Yes , just set up auto forward to the email of your choice. I use Gmail for example so they get pushed to my phone.

D'oh!!

Thanks, that looks to have been fairly straightforward!
