Just had this message claiming it is from Virgin Media.

I assume it is not genuine and I should delete it?

99% it's going to be a scam.

Assuming you are a customer of Virgin, and you don't want to post up the entire email, call them (from the number on their website not in the email) if you want to be sure.

VM moved from Google to their own mail servers a while back.
If they actually want to delete "old" mails, then I'd take a backup on your own machine, and then store it elsewhere smile

Thanks folks. I was pretty sure it was a scam attempt.
