Rather than posting on other peoples threads which may not be the same problem as you are having I have moved you onto your own thread where hopefully you will get answers to your specific problem.

What exactly is happening when you try to log onto your email account?

How are you accessing your email account, is it with an email client/app and if so which one?

What operating system are you using and which browser are you using when checking with webmail?

How are you trying to change your password, which procedure are you using?

Re: Email Problems

If the problem was on all your devices using different browsers and email client and just happened without you doing anything and you are unable to change the password it could be one of three things.

a) There is a email server problem that you are connected to at BT

b) There is an issue with your email account, possibly having become corrupted in some way.

or

c) Your account may have been hacked/compromised and the password has been changed.

Try turning off your BT hub for 30 minutes then when you turn it back on it will hopefully have been issued a new IP address and connected to a different email server.

If that does not help have you tried changing the password using the "forgotten password" link on the log on page?

BTMail

Clear Firefox history and cookies then make sure you are using the correct log on page. It is the one I posted in my last message or use the email button at the top of this page.

You should wait at least an hour to allow the servers to sync and then add the new password to your iPhone.

To do that go into your iPhone's email apps settings and change the password to the new password.

When entering the settings, make sure that in the Outgoing server you do not use the "use same as incoming" for the email address and password. Enter them manually.

Be aware that when you change your BT password on an iPhone/iPad/Apple device it may only change for INCOMING mail.

To change the outgoing mail password you have to go into Settings; then scroll down to Passwords & Accounts or on older devices Mail, Contacts, Calendars. From there select the BT email account and select the account where it is listed under IMAP.

You will find the details for the account and can change the password for the Incoming server there, the outgoing mail server only shows SMTP and mail.btinternet.com You have to tap on that Primary Server in order to find where the Outgoing password is hidden so you can update it.

You should check the server settings when you are there.
