BT email address problem

Hi
I have signed up with BT broadband tonight and I have tried to access my new BT Yahoo email account. When I try to sign in to the account I get the message "Invalid email. Please enter a valid username (e.g. [email protected])". Why am I getting this message.? I thought that my new BT email account would be working straight away? Do I have to wait until my broadband is activated before the email will work? Or do I have to do sometihing else? Any ideas?

Hi sandonaldson,
Your BT email eg "[email protected]" account will not be enabled until your broadband activation date. Though as imjolly has said can sometimes be a day or so after the broadband activation date.
You may also be aware that BT are moving away from the BT Yahoo mail service provided by Yahoo to a new BTmail service later this summer. For more information on the new BT mail go to http://bt.com/newemail
Hope that helps,
Cheers

Primary Email Address Problem

Apologies in advance for the long post.
I could post this query in a variety of locations - MAS/iTunes Store/iCloud - but the area it's actually causing a problem is Apple Support Communities.
For several days I have been virtually unable to log in here because I have to constantly verify/re-submit my Primary Email Address in My AppleID.
Every time I try to login I get presented with the screen saying 'Report Account Issue', telling my to go to 'My Apple ID' to check my details. I follow the link and have to re-submit my previously verified email address. This normally allows me to then login - until the next time when I have to repeat the process.
I've lost count of the times I've been to my My Apple ID, my iTunes Store Account, MAS and edited my ID re-inputting the email address - it just never gets remembered. Seems to forget the email address as soon as I've input it.
I'm in touch with the Community Hosts and the iTunes Store but think I might have a long wait for a resolution. Just hoping that someone here may have some ideas. I may be a coincidence but this seems to have occurred straight after installing the latest version of iTunes a few days ago.
I've tried clearing caches and cookies and deleting items in the Keychain. Tried loggin in from other computers and iOS devices - same problem.
If anyone has got any suggestions on how to make my primary email address get remembered like it used to I'd be extremely grateful.

Hi Folks
Have a problem with my primary email address! when I try to send an email prior to my email address the words Honda Award appear, this appears to convert my email to spam. It is only for this email address other sub accounts are fine and it is not limited to one computer as if I log on on my sons laptop the same header appears but my sons emails do not have the problem. Any suggestions what to do to remove this tried a variety of anti virus and malware options none find anything wrong. thanks in hope

Hi.
Are you using webmail, or a mail client program such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail ?
It seems like you may be using webmail, in which case within webmail :-
Options/Mail (or More) Options/Accounts. Click on the BTYahoo! account item or if already showing look at the "From Name".
You can alter this to suit.
However, even with "Honda Award" appearing, it should not necessarily cause emails to be spam.
If you have never set this item like this, then it could be that your account has been hacked. Also go to POP & Forwarding to make sure nothing is set in the forwarding area. If it is, then make a note of the email address and then you can inform the abuse desk of the actual mail address hosts.

Printer email address problem

When trying to find my printer eprint email address in the tools menu, the display responds with, can't connect to the server.

Hi skrams1,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I gather that you are unable to enable the web services for your HP printer.
Please set a static ip address and manual DNS servers for your printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps and screen shots. If you don't have the Officejet 8600 don't worry the steps are the same. Please note that when on the Network tab you may not have 'IPv4' in the left hand side menu, please look for 'Network' or 'Network Address (IP)'.
Once you have set the static ip and manual DNS server you should have no problems enabling the web services.

Primary Email address problems

I want to change my primary email address, but it says I may already have that address assigned to another Apple device. I'm almost positive that I don't. How do I fix this?

Hi kebro,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are having issues changing your Apple ID. Does the primary address end with with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com ? If so, these Apple ID’s cannot be changed. For more information, check out this resource:

Email Address Problems

The Verizon systems reject any email addresses with a "+" as an invalid email address, even though such email addresses are completely valid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Valid_email_addresses
I tried Verizon support though they just repeatedly told me such email addresses are invalid. The fact that I regularly receive email to such an address demonstrates this is false. Anyone have any suggestions? I could of course use a different email address, but since I pay Verizon I don't think it is too much to ask for them to support standard and valid email addresses.

Yep, the "+" is definitely supported.
From the supplied link:
atext = ALPHA / DIGIT / ; Printable US-ASCII
"!" / "#" / ; characters not including
"$" / "%" / ; specials. Used for atoms.
"*" / "+" /
"=" / "?" /
"^" / "_" /
"`" / "{" /
"|" / "}" /

I need to get email address problem fixed

I married in November 2011 and contacted BT to get primary email address changed to my new married name, I thought this would be pretty straight forward but instead of changing my primary email address, a new account was set up with a new primary email address however all my services are still with my old primary email address. I really want to get this sorted and have my married email address as my main address and all my services under this one as opposed to the old one. Please can you help?
Solved!

Hi,
If you are the BT account holder & know your account number & some security details, the quickest way might be to call BT on the number below. They will require some security info along with your BT account number.
They can reset your password to a simple one and talk you through changing it to a more secure one once logged in via webmail access.
They may ask for remote access to your computer but you are at liberty to decline this!
Good luck.

HELP - email address problem - need to reset a variable

I created a form that will be submitted to certain different email addresses based on an option selected from a drop-down list (named Customer).
I tried another script posted here, but that was based on the assumption that there was only one choice per email address in the list.
I wrote this on the change event of my list. I want the variable "emailAddress" to adopt the correct email address, based on the value of the option selected from the list:
var emailAddress = "[email protected]";
if (Customer.rawValue = "3"|"4"|"7") {
emailAddress = "[email protected]";
else if (Customer.rawValue = "5"|"8"|"15"|"20"|"21"|"26") {
emailAddress = "[email protected]";
else if (Customer.rawValue = "9"|"10"|"13") {
emailAddress = "[email protected]";
else {
emailAddress = "[email protected]";
Then I copied this (from the other topic), on the click event of a regular button ,which calls for a second, hidden button:
EmailSubmitButton1.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:"+ emailAddress;
EmailSubmitButton1.execEvent("click");
The form worked fine the first time, but after that, all submissions are going to [email protected] I'm thinkking that the variable emailAddress has now a fixed value, and does not change.
I am new to Javascript, so I might have not written the code properly, any help will be greatyl appreciated!
Thank you.

Daeveed:
I think your javascript syntax is problematic. Instead of the syntax
if (Customer.rawValue = "3"|"4"|"7")
try
if (Customer.rawValue == "3"|"4"|"7")
Note the double equals sign. That's the equality comparison operator in javascript. The single equals is assignment.
if that still doesn't work, try
if ((Customer.rawValue == "3") || (Customer.rawValue == "4") || (Customer.rawValue == "7"))
Hope this helps.

IPhone and email address problem!

Hi, Can someone tell me why when I have changed my email address and password on my iTunes account my iPhone is still using my old email address and I can't cange it on the phone??

HI Ross,
Go to Manage your Apple ID and change the current Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is only temporary. Do not change your password)
Once you have changed it to the old ID, use your current password to proceed
Once you have completed what you are trying to do, change your Apple ID back to the new ID
Cheers,

Email address problems - can you help?

I have just bought my first Mac and attempted to transfer some of my previoius emails. They have arrived in a format that I cannot yet use - not my current worry. At the same time I appear to have imported every email address that I have ever used (and possible some that I never have). I want to delete these, but can find no way of accessing where these are stored.
I've tried to delete them one by one by putting them into the addressee box and deleting and that doesn't work and I've looked in Window/Previous Recipients and they do not appear there.
Any suggestions?

Start the Address Book app. Email addresses either come from there or the previous recipients.

Changed Apple ID email address problem :(

So I changed my Apple ID email address. I logged out of my account on my iPad when it had my old email address for iCloud and iTunes(and the App Store) and logged in using my updated email address. It worked with iCloud but for some reason the iPad will ask me to login using my old Apple id email address in the App Store even though I updated my email address in the settings and even though at the bottom of the screen (when I open up the App Store) my new email address is there. Now I cannot update my apps or download new ones because my iPad keeps asking for the password to the old Apple id email address that I no longer use and it's ext frustratin. I've repeatedly tried to login out of the App Store and re-enter my updated info but it doesn't change a thing. I've even tried to reset the iPad and log in with my new email address but that does not work either.... What else should I do?????

Hello Alexandra,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID. I recommend the following steps:
Symptoms
iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
Resolution
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

Getting rid of old email address problem

I have updated a friends email address in Address Book and deleted her older address. However when I'm in the mail client and go to type her name if defaults to her older address that I deleted! I can still get the new address by scrolling down but I want the older address gone period. Why is it still showing up if I deleted it?

while in Mail go to window menu->previous recipients and remove the old address from it.

Configuring Work Email Address Problems

Hi,
Forgive me if this has been posted (I trawled google but to no avail). I'm having problems setting up my work email on the BB Curve 8520, while my hotmail address set up fine. My boss has his work email set up on his, just by typing email and the password.
The email, password, mail server etc are all correct yet it continually tells me its invalid and sends the following email to the account:
"Your attempt to configure the BlackBerry Internet Service to deliver mail to your BlackBerry device from this email account was unsuccessful. This email provides instructions to help with the email account set up." etc
I rang Orange (UK) but they weren't particularly helpful, basically telling me to use the Blackberry Internet Service (which I've done over 10 times!) Has anyone else had this problem? How was it resolved?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Via the on-device BIS interface, I've never been successful at configuring an OWA email account (I am assuming you are using OWA...you only said "work email", leaving us to guess what it is. If I have guessed wrongly, stop now and tell us what it is.) Only via the carrier BIS website (from PC/Browser) have I been successful. You can find your's here:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Where_can_I_log_into_my_BIS_account%3F
Next, use this KB for configuration. Be very very careful with the settings...they are tricky. Especially the Mailbox Name. The last time I did one, it took me like 6 tries of different combinations to come across the correct settings. Don't try something you've tried before...if it did not work once, it is unlikely that it'll work another time.
You could also look at your bosses settings to see what worked in that case.
When all else fails, contact your carrier and see if they can configure it for you.
Good luck and let us know!
