Although I got an initial backlog of emails when it started downloading mail yesterday evening, some emails from yesterday lunchtime suddenly appeared this morning.

I've noticed that webmail is extremely slow this morning but normal email seems OK.

I got about 10% of my daily emails this morning. I.E. about 100 instead of 1000.
Nothing since.
By the time it is resolved properly I will have a huge backlog.
Cheers

I got quite a few e-mails this morning (oops I mean Thursday morning), then nothing since about 11.00am.  I'm getting a bit annoyed now with Virgin, especially as this is the second time they've had this serious fault in the last month or so.  They must know that we want our e-mails and unlike last time, I can't even access them via Virgin webmail.  I see the problem has been an amber since mid morning, as far as I'm concerned it should still be red.  All I can say is thank goodness I don't use Virgin for a business.

Still having problems today.  I had a couple of e-mails this morning, then nothing since.  Now my OH, who hasn't had any problems with Virgin e-mails up to now, has lost his e-mail service too.

As this has now been going on since Wednesday, I think enough is enough and am thinking of changing to another company.  Anyone got any good ideas?  Google, for instance?

Lizzie

ps.  As I'm not getting e-mails, I have to keep coming back to Roots to check on any replies, not much of a problem, but it means I spend too long on Roots instead of what I'm supposed to be doing. ::) ::)

Grrrrrr!

No emails at all since this morning.

This is becoming altogether too frequent.

Time to change?

My OH Virgin e-mails are up and running again - why is he so important ::) ::)

I'm definitely going to change, I'm looking at other options at the moment, including Google.

I too am looking to change. I have been looking at Plusnet - who do the same package as I am on with Virgin (their Plan 2) for £3 a month less. Their ads are on RC sometimes.

My parents have just signed up to them and, so far, they seem to be pretty good. Oh and they have UK call centres.

cheers

According to the BBC Virgin and other email providers were the subject of a major spam attack which knocked out some of their systems.
