Windows 10: Mail not accepting new password for bt emails

I recently changed the passwords on my BT email account and then tried to link the same e-mails to Microsoft Mail.I went through the routine to add them to the MAIL account and it "seemed" to accept each entry.When I tried to get the mails a triangle pops up and a statement reports "Settings are OUT OF DATE"IF THESE ARE "NEW" PASSWORDS, would someone PLEASE advise HOW the above statement applies.I have tried various routes to load these accounts again but they all result in the same "FAULT".The routes tried and results of the attempt are as followsOUTLOOK ... NOT APPLICABLEO

BT Mail update and N8

Can I just verify that you followed the same steps as me?



What I did was:

create a new mailbox and select "other" from the list.

Then put in the "dummy" email address and password

This seems to allow access to the IMAP/POP choices and allows you to enter the mail.btinternet.com server addresses etc.

Once you have checked that all the settings are right (as shown on the BT website), you then change the email (and password) back to the correct ones BEFORE leaving the settings screen.



This worked for me

What Are the Gmail SMTP Server Settings?
Gmail SMTP
Gmail POP3 Settings

• Gmail POP server address: pop.gmail.com
• Gmail POP user name: Your full Gmail address (L: [email protected], for example)
• Gmail POP password: Your Gmail password
  • ​If you have enabled Gmail 2-step authentication, use an application-specific Gmail password.

• Gmail POP port: 995
• Gmail POP TLS/SSL required: yes

- I just did a couple of general internet searches for you.

I'm not sure that you can transfer emails from one server to another unless you have some offer to do that.

Consider using an email client such as Thunderbird, which can receive and store emails on your PC. I have emails going back many years.

(Of course, also back up your PC!)
