Virgin Media offloads email services to third party provider

Virgin Media is discontinuing its email services and transferring management to Junara, a cloud-based email provider owned by Atmail, in Australia. Customers will have a 45-day window to either switch to Junara, download their data, or close their accounts. The company is prioritizing investments in better connectivity experiences and has stopped offering new email addresses for broadband services since 2022.

Virgin Media O2 chief operating officer Alan Stott explained the shift, noting that people now prefer dedicated email providers over those provided by telecoms operators.
