Anybody still use an ntlworld. Com address?

[conuk]

Has Virgin media finally stopped this?

About 4 years plus, all VM accounts now.

 

[conuk]

I've been getting them forwarded to Gmail until recently....

 

[scrivz69]

Wife had one and it got changes to a VM account when they took over, how you do it I have no idea.

 

[conuk]

Yeah I always use to have it just forward to my Gmail account.... And then only noticed recently when I was trying to reset my steam account. Strange.

Time to move on lol..... Bit like a license plate you gt used to the same one.

 

[scrivz69]

Lol yep.

 

[Andr3w]

Umm.....ours is still @ntlworld.com?

 

[Charlie Bravo]

Mine is still ntl as well.

 

[conuk]

If I send an email to myself at ntlworld is fails... Also the Virgin.net one that I've had for ever.

Having to change emails as I find out. It must be recently because banking was used by this ntlworld email and was working.

 

[troops]

Still have my Blueyonder email address from all those years ago.

 

[flowrider99]

We still have ntlworld.com addresses.

 

[Werewolf]

I still use an NTLworld.com address, I think they've stopped giving them out a long time ago thought.

 

[[HB]Rugrat]

Mine is the same ntlworld.com address I had the day I signed up in... 1999? 2000?

 

[gareth170]

I still use ntlworld.com addresses for 20 years

if your having issues then it could be just server issues they sometimes have.

 

[conuk]

Strange..... I'm not even sure of the passwords for the accounts now. I remember just setting them up to forward to my Gmail. Will have a poke around.
Time to clear up and just use Gmail or whatever I guess now.

 

[beachBOYken]

Yep, I have one.

People can still use them but they don't give them out anymore. Not sure how it all works but you can use the @virginmedia.com server settings for ntlworld email addresses.

 

[KIA]

Just don't use it for anything important.

 

[conuk]

Changing accounts as I find them.
Have never logged in for ages.. Just had email forwarded to Gmail. Probably not the best idea ever... But you know when you don't want 20 email accounts.

VM, in common with most other ISP's do this by setting up the @ntlworld.com address as an alias on the mailbox whenever migrating to a new primary domain. They don't hand them out to new customers, but old customers still get to keep them.

For the ISP it is a pain, but nothing compared to the pain they would get when hundreds of thousands of customers can't receive emails.

 

[conuk]

So it seems it's just mine then at the moment then?

If I send an email to it it just gets returned saying permanent failure.
