Bt Internet

[gregers]

anyone using bt as there isp,seem to be having problems retrieving emails in outlook no probs retrieving from another email account i use(again in outlook)just wondered if its my end or are bt having a few problems.cheers gregers

Yep, they are having problems.

 

They appear to be queuing/filtering externally incoming mail.

 

You can send to other people but you can't receive....or at least its delayed.

 

Looks like some kind of filtering because if you reply to a bt address it gets through instanly.....if you send it doesn't.

 

Works ok bt to bt.

[gregers]

cheers for that

is there a reason for this or are they just updating/messing up the system?

[gregers]

im still having problems,there taking there time messing round with the system????

[big_kev]

It appears they were messing about with their systems.

 

It is ok now, email I sent yesterday never arrived.....lost for ever.

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'gregers - BT Yahoo! Mail', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80004005

 

this has also affected the desktop(main)computer no problems receiving emails from another account,funny thing is ive just sent an email from my bt account to my other 1 and it came through.

Hi Gregers

 

I had a problem a couple of weeks ago, and they told me to change my incomming mail server in accounts to "pop.mail.yahoo.com" instead of "mail.btinternet.com" and not had a proble since, also have you had a email, talking about Verifing your email accounts, (www.btyhaoo.com/verify)
