Since the change to the new format, trying to do anything after dealing with a few emails the system hangs and I have to close the program then go back in which is extremely infuriating and time consuming. Is there a fix for this or is BT likely at any time in the near future to fix it?
To save repeating everything.

There are other threads about the email "upgrade" which I'm sure you will find by looking through the email board of the forum.
You don't need to change email provider, simply change the way you access it. Use a free mail client such as Thunderbird or EmClient rather than webmail.
The problems are not with the service, just the awful user interface of webmail.
As previously stated I have basic mail therefore cannot use an mail client
