![]() If I migrate from my present BB provider, which is BTYahoo, can I still access my BT Openworld email accounts, which I do currently on PAYG via my BB connection? Will BTYahoo ban me from doing that if I go to, say Bulldog or similar? I have had these email accounts for some time now and do not want to loose them. John In limine sapientiae |

Will BTYahoo ban me from doing that if I go to, say Bulldog or similar? I have had these email accounts for some time now and do not want to loose them. Works fine for me! And I'm over the moon. I ditched BT Yahoo! (512Kbps) and went with Primetime 2000 with Bulldog. 2Mbps with Bulldog is costing me same as 512Kbps cost at BT! Initially, I was a little worried by the lack of email/usenet/etc with Bulldog (available as an option), but, this is unfounded (for me). For usenet, I use news.individual.net (free). For email, as I've already mentioned, I can still access my @btopenworld.com account to download email, and I always have my hotmail account to fall back on (smaller limits on sending/receiving). Tip: You have to configure the POP3 as being mail.btopenworld.com and the SMTP as being smtp.bulldogdsl.com Had a slight problem with BT *accidentally* continuing to take my monthly payment. But, that should be sorted by now. Do it!! Change now!! And tell them that Bazza sent you (ref: BDOL213054) My only regret is that I didn't migrate sooner. Barry |

![]() Sounds fine, but are you sure that after a while BT won't throw you off. I know that basic Hotmail and Yahoo are free, but AFAIK, BT does not provide a free web mail service. In effect this is what they are doing. I think it is great and when I make the switch away from BTYahoo BB will do the same as you, but it still seems odd. BTW, I use the same news server as you do, using Free Agent. Unfortunately I can't change until mid Sept - 12 month BT contract. Works fine for me! And I'm over the moon. I ditched BT Yahoo!

If your BTO accounts are currently PAYG - they will continue to be.. If your email accounts are "linked" to your ADSL account and you are changing your ISP - ask BT to downgrade your account to PAYG and not close it.. As long as you dial in once every 3 months on a PAYG account, you wont lose your account.. Regards Sunil |
