have temporarily stopped checking mail on that account as it's been driving me nuts.

curiously my router dropped its connection eralier this evening- which I've never seen happen before.

Only problem I have with BT Internet/Openworld/Yahoo mail is the 5000+ items of spam I get every day after it's all been through the BT Internet/Openworld/Yahoo filtering process(es)

I'm with Freeserve and this was happening to me too on Monday and Yesterday too

I had problems trying to download my email early this morning.

Probably all these virus infected emails flying around clogging up the system.

Think they're in the process of migrating everyone over to the new BT Yahoo service. Means you lose all your additional email addresses - unless you stump up for their premium service.

Having said that, the webmail has be screwed for the last 4 weeks or so and isn't letting me delete anything so the spam is buiding up at an alarming rate.

About time I gave up on BT and switched over to my other account ...

there must be a large scale problem, we are with 1&1 and for most of yesterday afternoon and most of today the service has been intermittent, been receiving mails hours after they have been sent, sometimes doesnt send/receive properly.

That 386DX with 32MB RAM which sits in a room and runs all the worlds mail is obviously slowing down abit

Hi Everybody!

Its still playing up this morning....

Must be more general that the BT/Yahoo change over thingy since I'm with Freeserve.

If anybody finds out what this is all about please enlighten us......

Cheers

I changed my email settings last night after having a read of the website;

smtp server had always been set to smtp.btinternet.com, now is set to mail.btinternet.com as seems better.

I have a bit of a moment last night where I couldn't send any mail through BT. Fortunately this was sorted by alterning 'smtp' to 'mail'

I've changed my account as follows:

pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk

login is now xxxxx@btinternet.com rather than xxxxx

seems to be working fine like this now
