Will I lose Virginmedia emails if I cancel the contract

2 Posts
I have been with virgin media ever since I first got on line and I have broadband and TV with them and it is now ridiculously expensive. The only reason i have stayed with them is that I am frightened of losing my email address, which I know will happen if I cancel the contract. I have worked out that I can start giving people notice of a different email address well in advance of stopping the contract. But can someone please let me know if I will still have access to all the emails now stored on my computer - or will these somehow be wiped too

Assuming you are using IMAP then when your account is closed your access will be revoked and so your mail client will be unable to connect to the server. As such whatever you have downloaded will stay downloaded but, for example, your client has downloaded the text of a message but not the 5mb PDF that's attached you obv will be able to read the message but not open the attachment.
If you are using POP3 then everything will be downloaded to the computer anyway.
