If you've got more than one email address (especially if they're with different service providers), remembering different usernames and passwords can be confusing. So we've made it easier for you to link and manage different email accounts from within BT Email without having to switch between them. It also means you can search across all your mailboxes and find photos, files, messages or contacts.
Switching between mailboxes is easy. And when you write an email, we'll send it from the email address associated with the mailbox you've selected.
Even if you set up your account through a web browser on your computer, you only need to set up your mailbox once. After that, BT Email will stay connected to the mailbox across all devices and automatically retrieve your email.
- Select Settings from the drop down in the top right hand corner
- Now select Mail from the left hand menu, then Accounts and finally the Add button
- A pop-up window will appear. Provide the details of the external account you wish to add and then click Save
- You'll get a message to confirm that your external account has been added and it should be visible in your list of accounts
- If you return to the Mail tab, your added account should appear in your list of folders. By clicking on this link you should be able to access the emails for this account
Please note: Some service providers may send an email requiring validation of the addition. If you are having difficulty accessing your added account via BT email, please log into your external email account and check for an email from your service provider.
