How can I add working btinternet email accounts?

Hi there
I have looked at threads that seem to be associated with the above however they all seem pretty historic and I wondered if Apple had come up with a solution or if there was a workaround that one of you guru's out there might know.
First off, I am not particularly computer articulate so if you ask me additional questions that require tech info, please be gentle with me!
I have a MacbookAir 13" which I am only just (after two years) beginning to properly utilise. Having set up an iCloud email, and added my Gmail account without any problems, I added my primary account which is a btinternet address and all seemed well.
Very quickly though the bt address stopped working properly and kept asking for my password. I have taken it offline, put it online, deleted it and added it again all with the same results.
Is there any way to have all my addresses in one place other than opening up iCloud, gmail and bt via Safari? I am on Mavericks (if that makes any difference).
All help, gratefully appreciated.

Change the name of the computer in the Sharing pane of System Preferences to one that has no spaces, apostrophes, parentheses, or special characters.
If you have a BT Home Hub wireless router or something similar, you may also need to change the computer name in the router's settings as described by vincentfromcork on page 2 of this thread.

  • HT1277 How can I add a second email account to my "Mail" tab on iMac?

    All I have managed to do is add a Smartmail box, but that just specifies folders in my yahoo. I want to check my google email using the same icon. Setting both up on my iPhone was super simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out on my mac.

    Hello,
    On the Mac, in Mail's menu>Preferences>Accounts tab, click the tiny  plus icon & add your account.

  • How can i add my college email account to my mail box on the dashboard?

    I already have my Yahoo and my could account attached to the mail section of my computer, but i want to attach my collage, gonzaga univerity, email to it as well. I know i type in everything correctly but it still will not connect. Does anyone know how to connect them?

    Get someone in the IT department of your university to verify the settings for their email server. It's possible that you overlooked something when setting up the account.

  • How can I get my mac email account to work?

    How can I get my mac email account to work?

    That requires you to enter the configuration correctly.  You can find out the configuration for your email from your ISPs website in most cases. Or if you're using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail you need only Google something like:
    "Gmail configuration for Apple Mail"  or  "Hotmail configuration for Apple Mail" (without the quotes). 
    That should get you started..

    Please help me in this, How can i add my outlook email to my ipad without useing the Exchange Service?

    I'm afraid you've posted in the wrong place. This is a technical forum around a particular product called 'SharePoint'. This does talk to Exchange and Outlook in places but we don't specialised in either of those. You should have a look for one of the
    generic Outlook support forums or contact your IT department if it's a work related account.

    Do you remember the answers to your security questions ? If you do then log into your account on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password And Security section of your account's page, answer the two questions that show and you can then add a rescue email address : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    If you don't remember your answers then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • How do I add a second email account in ICloud mail

    How do I add a second email account to my iCloud mail, like a POP account?

    I talked with Apple and they have taken away the ability to check other email addresses on iCloud like you could in MobileMe via POP or whatever.
    Not sure why I would use iCloud if I can't check all of my email there, and I'm certainly not going to configure four POP accounts on my phone, my laptop, ipad, and work computer...
    Bummer...I'm going back to Gmail.
