So as the title says, the issue is more or less that I have linked my BTInternet email address as an alias for my Google Mail account, which allows me to receive email from BTInternet and send email AS my BTInternet address from Gmail. However, it has strangely stopped working.
Alright so here's the background details:
The response from the remote server was:
421 Too many messages (2.3.5.3) from 209.85.221.41
I really need to get this working again. Does anyone have any ideas at all about what I can do?
Would contact BTinternet's support team, but they seem to have no email address and instead leaves us with the messaging agent which doesn't seem to be setup for Email issues, asking for a BT phone number and stuff which I don't have last I checked.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Its possibly a Gmail problem as they are tightening up on security. For instance, from May it will no longer be possible to send from 'less secure apps' such as earlier versions of MS Outlook and 2FA is mandatory.
If you can send and receive via BT webmail, BT won't be interested.
Are you a BT Broadband customer or paying for your BT email account via BT Premium email.
If neither of the above you will now have a BTMail basic account which can only be accessed through a web browser and it can not be forwarded or set up within another mail account where it is in effect being used as an email client.
