Accessing emails through Virgin.net - anyone having problems?

I access my virgin account emails through virgin's website and for about 24 hours I've been unable to get into my account - has anyone else encountered any problems before I contact them?

Thanks.

    Yes. I just go back to the web page after submitting email address and password.

    According to the site now.
  • Although their service update says the service was down as from 9.13, this is rubbish. They have had problems for the last couple of days; my email stopped functioning around 10.30pm yesterday. This is the second major service out they have had this year!

    Yes they are having problems, I called them this morning and asked, also told them what the status page said, and at that time it was saying everything OK, but the email status was " last updated 10-08-2008", he said the page obviously had been updated since then and he would look into it.

    What ever the status page says, you can also ring the "service announcement" number; - 0800 0524329, and at this time it is reporting a fault, although they must have "fixed" it earlier, as I received about 80 emails in one go at about 2 p m.

    Mine is back to "error", just that I got all those emails from the last two days earlier this afternoon.
