Hi Declan 195


I had the same problem and spent nearly a week getting the problem fixed.

What BT don’t tell you on their “super improved email” message is that you will have to change your password to allow your Apple device to accept the change.

Even if you can sign into your email account on “MY BT” with your existing username and password, you would think that it would be ok on your Apple device, but it is not.


Thanks BT for wasting a week of my life that I will not get back !

I also have this problem since BT “super improved” my email last week.

I cannot send or receive.

They said that server settings were to be “Mail.btinternet.com” but they were that anyway.

I keep getting the message that username or password is incorrect, bit I know that they are ok as I can send and receive via “My BT”.

I tried deleting one of my accounts from my iPad and my iPhone, and now I cannot re-instate it.

I have posted the problem on the BT Community, but have still to receive a reply.

This is so irritating as it has worked ok for years, and now they have “super improved” it !!

I suspect that this is a BT problem, rather than an Apple problem.
