So they will have disabled remote access because you no longer use their internet service. There is a facility where you pay a small fee to retain the email address. I had been using this for some years. However, after a glitch with the annual payment before Christmas I'm now locked out of mine. (I can only access via an internet browser). 7 hours spent over 2 days with their agents via chat & its still unresolved. I honestly think they just make up answers to get you off their chat.

Hi HughM97, please start a new topic it looks like you're affected by a billing issue and I can get that fixed for you.
