Adding BT internet mail account to my iPad Pro

Up until 10 days ago my BTinternet account worked fine on my Apple IPad Pro ( new one bought in August this year). Then I stopped receiving BT internet emails.


I deleted and tried to reinstall my BT internet mail account- but BT will not recognise me and my password. Tho there is no problem with my iPhone and Apple laptop where my BT internet emails are working fine.


Help please. What is the issue with my iPad and how can I get my BT internet email account working on my iPad?



iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Start with initial fault finding:


What happens when you try to receive or send email? Do you see any errors - and if so, what do you see?


If email is failing to send or receive, you are likely to see indicative errors at the bottom of the mail sidebar - the wording of the error usually providing sufficient information to determine the nature of the problem.


Deleting and re-adding your email account is sometimes the easiest way to resolve a problem with a specific Mail account. After deleting the account, perform a forced restart before re-adding the email account to your iPad.


  • Delete account:

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Mail Account] > Delete Account


  • Force restart the iPad:

Force restart iPad - Apple Support


  • Add Mail Account:

Settings > Mail > Add Account



Do you have any security Apps (such as Norton) or VPN installed on your iPad? If so, these may be interfering with your iPad's IP-routing. If either are installed on your iPad, it may be necessary to temporarily remove such Apps from your iPad - and then perform a forced-restart of your iPad.
