Service status still showing that the email service isn't working with a 21.30 time estimate.

What a nightmare El

Some of the emails have come through now but others have yet to appear

I think that the majority of emails sent to me have now arrived in my inbox, may be one or two yet to arrive, Virgin Media have been churning out the emails over the last hour

For anyone who uses Virgin Media email service, looks as if their mail servers are down, service status says they expect this to be sorted out by 10.05.

sorry you had so much hassle EL-terrible

night EL slim moonsieee bazzy

Good morning everyone

Raining here at present, about half an inch has fallen this morning.

Virgin Media email down again , Status page says hope to be sorted out by 8.30.

I hope everyone has a good day

As I suspected, still no email service.
Looks as if Virgin Media have no idea as to what the problem is.

A hack attack El?

Who knows
The email browser seems to be now available but is not functioning properly. So no new messages in the inbox since 10pm yesterday evening.  So no point trying any website which sends an email message to you as part of the log in security checks.
No guarantee that sending emails will get sent on a timely basis.

You’d think they would have sorted it by now

Good morning Buddies

Rained last night and it’s still raining now

Mind you it is cooler

Have a good day everyone

Quite
None of the reactions or quotes that you've done on my posts today have I had the usual email so far.

Just had an email arrive in the last few minutes, that was Ros's quoted post which she posted at 23.11 last night. So has taken18 hours to arrive.

God a few more emails arrive but some of them are repeats of ones I had already received. I've seen comments by some people saying they've had hundreds of repeated emails

But I got the email with your quote above 9 minutes after you posted it.

and this one 7 hours after you posted it.
Virgin seems to be churning these emails out in no particular order

Just checked my email inbox before going off to bed and it looks as if it may be back to normal with the reactions & quote emails from the forum made by you this evening being received on time

Let's see what happens overnight

Good morning everyone

Some sunshine here at present, might get a shower later - BBC forecast showing a low possibility of that being thundery.

I hope everyone has a good day

My email browser seems to be OK at present. Some people still saying they have problems with either duplicated emails or missing folders.Although I did get some duplications, there haven't been any further ones, all my folders are as normal. It's possible that the people experiencing problems may have several email addresses with Virgin , it's possible that they may be using a different email browser to Virgin's own and that the folders relate to those browsers.

Thanks Moonie, so far today there haven't been any problems .
My guess is that one of the email servers in the chain of servers used failed and lost the emails going through that server. So it was necessary to retrieve those emails from servers earlier in the chain, reconstitute them and then send them on to the recipients. That would explain the length of time, duplication of emails, and the somewhat haphazard order that recipients got the emails. I don't think it would have been a hack leading to customers details being leaked as if that had been the case Virgin would have had to notify the ICO and customers.

A recent report on the ICO site about action taken against two energy companies being fined:

The second company mentioned may well be the company who had been ringing me about my business electricity tariff, and sometimes asking for meter details.

Still not a good advert for space travel. Not a good ad at all   

Virgin Orbit       The sub.   Terra firma       

Hope all are hunky dory     

Branson got lucky with Mike Oldfield and Tubular Bells. That's where it started.

Very good album mind you.
