Re: Email Migration

Never mind, found it in the FAQ's

Can I use the name I use in my e-mail address with @virginmedia.com as well?

At the moment you cannot use the name you use in your e-mail address with @virginmedia.com as well.

We have 'reserved' any existing names used in e-mail addresses in the three 'old' e-mail domains so that they cannot be allocated to any other customer.
For example, if the name richard.branson existed in the @blueyonder.co.uk domain no new customer would be able to use the same name ending in @virginmedia.com, as it is allocated for Richard to use (should he decide to) when we offer customers this opportunity later this year.
If the name exists in more than one domain – e.g. if the name richard.branson also exists in the @virgin.net domain – both address owners will be given an equal opportunity to have the address allocated to them.
We will be writing to customers with more information on this once the @ntlworld.com migration to Google is complete.
In the meantime if you try to get new names ending @virginmedia.com that are the same as your name in one of the 'old' e-mail domains in My Virgin Media, you will see a message saying the name has already been taken.
