Windows 10: Using BT Yahoo email in Windows 10 Mail app

Is it possible to set Windows 10 mail to sync with BT Yahoo mail 'AS ITEMS ARRIVE' This is available with G Mail, but does not seem to be an option with BT

I think you would be better off on the BT forums as it is specifically an ISP provided Mail Account. BT changed some users from using BT Yahoo Mail a while back to BT Mail for which I think Gmail is the supplier.

So this is a BT Yahoo Mail, or BT Mail, problem whatever it is for you. That you will have to find out.

I have a couple of Yahoo Mail Accounts on the Windows 10 Mail App works fine, but they are not BT Yahoo Mail accounts.

 

YAHOO MAIL and email apps

I did not get any useful help in the BT Forum, and after an adviser told me in a phone conversation that BT does not provide assistance related to desktop email apps I submitted a complaint. However, before I received the scheduled reply I resolved the issue myself. Instead of selecting the YAHOO option in the Windows MAIL ADD Account menu I tried OTHER. It worked. I now have my BY YAHOO mail back in MAIL, and some (I have not yet checked all) of the other email apps are recognizing it too.

I hope this is readable ---- post OCTOBER have not been able to enlarge fonts or use some other settings in this site, a problem that affects EDGE but not OPERA, so I am going to make the latter my default until this bug is eliminated.

Thank you both for your suggestions and the links. I did try BT Support itself at the outset but only got a suggestion which did not work, likewise Yahoo. I have not tried the BT Forum yet, because my experience there (on issues some while ago) was not fruitful, but that does not mean I should not try again. I posted here when I saw so many members had encountered similar problems so thought it might be worthwhile, plus at first I assumed it to be a Windows Mail issue..

I know BT YAHOO has been messing about with its email service for a long time (literally for years) and the account has needed 'fixinging' several times but I have not been notified of any outcome or consequences (except by scammers who jumped on the opportunity!), and I did not know about the possible involvement of Google, so now I will check that out. I have been a customer of BT for decades without much to complain about. I hope that is not changing.
