Sending btinternet emails with mail.btconnect.com?
Sam
I'm a BTO Business 500 user with an "@btconnect.com" email address.
However, I also have a personal btinternet.com email address from which I
want to be able to send mail while logged on to my broadband account.
Annoyingly, mail.btconnect.com seems only to allow me to send email using
my btconnect.com address. If I substitute my btinternet address in
outlook express, mail.btconnect.com refuses to send these emails.
Does anyone know if there is a way of resolving this problem as I do want
to continue to be able to use my btinternet email address.

Use the webmail interface. Also, remember to dial in at least once
every 90 days or they could close the BT Openworld account anyway.
I'd also recommend you consider getting your own domain name, so
in the longer term you can get mail whichever ISP you use.
Once you have a domain name, start using that address on all outgoing
mail... there are services around which will allow you to send with
your own choice of mail address, via their servers... fastmail.fm
has a one-off fee of about 10 pounds and offers webmail and POP/IMAP
so you can collect and send mail with Outlook Express. Peter Morgan.

Just going through this as well. IF you have an email address with your account then
you can sign up to their web site and register up to five domains from which you can
send email. Since I have way more than that it's no use to me so I'm leaving to go where
people know the correct way to control their own spammers. OR, I could add another
33% to my bill and get a fixed line - which other providers include for free.
If you have a broadband account you probably don't have an email account. In that case
you can't sign up with your non-existent email account password - but they'll sell you one
for another £1.50-ish per month.
Why do I think this is a money scam rather than a highly-misguided anti-spam policy?

Many thanks for early responses. I'm not keen on using a web interface.
I've learned that you can use smtp.btclick.com and have tried it,
successfully.

you might also be able to use out.talk21.com as a backup, though
beware a 5mb limit I think on size.
