I found that as Btinternet accounts are actually part of Yahoo you can just set up a push account for that email account by going into "settings" then "mail" then "add account" then "Yahoo Mail" then you enter all your btinternet email information as requested - where it asks for Address you would enter "xxxx@btinternet.com" password etc and "Bobs your uncle" it will all push through 🙂

I've just followed the advice to treat @btinternet.com addresses as a Yahoo account and my phone is getting email pushed to it.

Immediately I entered the btinternet account details I got ticks in all the boxes. The email account showed up as "Push" in just the same way was my .mac/mobileme account.

It took a while to activate after registering- it just sat there with a blank screen - but now seems to be working ok.

Let you know if this falls over in any way.
