BREAKING: Virgin Media Email Is Shutting Down — Here’s What You Need To Know

It’s been all over the news and online this weekend: Virgin Media is ending its email service and moving customers to a new provider called Junara. I checked the facts myself — and unfortunately, the rumours are true.

This affects ALL Virgin Media email addresses:

@virginmedia.com · @ntlworld.com · @blueyonder.co.uk · @virgin.net

Virgin Media has officially confirmed:

“Broadband ISP Virgin Media will close its email services and migrate remaining customers to a third-party platform.”
