@Dm1 If the address has not been accessed for a few years, there is a very good chance it has been deactivated, in which case, you will never recover it. I'm not 100% sure on the Plusnet policy on this matter, so could be wrong, but I know other ISPs 'retire' inactive accounts.
Which ISP was this with - Plusnet, or one of the legacy providers?

Are you sure that you set a separate password? I access mine using the account password.

Good point, @Baldrick1 , if it is the default address.

...which brand email is the much more interesting question before looking at other things.
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

Thank you for all taking the time to reply to my question, appreciate it. I’m not very tech savvy. All I know is it was a plus.com account. Unlikely to have been used for 5/6 years but could do with accessing it. Really hope there is not a time limit on these accounts staying active. Thanks again.

@Dm1 OK, so it was a Plusnet address. Was it your only email? - if so, as @Baldrick1 says above, the password should be your account password, unless you changed it.

Ah - in that case, unless you set up an e-mail only account when you left PN - very unlikely - it will have been destroyed when you closed the account. Sorry.
