How do I get my old O2 email accounts deleted?

[Skyrim]

I started using Plusnet just before O2 merged with Sky. I retained my old O2 email accounts on Thunderbird just in case some people still sent mail to them.

Fast forward to this year and I've received a couple of emails from companies I had accounts with notifying me of successful password changes. It appears my O2 email has been hacked.

For my own security I need to have my O2 email addresses deleted so that nobody can send or receive mail from/to those accounts.

How do I go about getting them deleted?

All correct help and information is a good thing and very prudent I agree.

So that's a "yes"

Funny... the O2 email account associated with the O2 account I used to chat with the online customer support adviser - who I was quite honest with about the quality of his 'support' - is now showing the following message when I try to get mail for it:

"Sending of password for user xxxx@o2.co.uk did not succeed. Mail server mail.o2.co.uk responded: invalid user or password"

I wonder if that's revenge or customer service
