BT Yahoo Premium Mail

I recently moved my broadband and telephone service to another as I cannot get a date for availability of BT Infinity.  I received a letter from BT saying that my email account will be downloaded to the pay-as-you-go dial up service, which I will have to access by dial up at least once in the next 60 days, and thereafter once every 90 days thereafter, or the account will be closed automatically.  I note, however, that the BT Yahoo dial up service terms state that at least 14 days will be given before closure.
In practice I am continuing to access my email account over my new supplier's broadband connection and wish to know what conditions I must meet in order to retain the account.  I understand that I will have to pay £1.54 pm to retain the account by upgrading to BT Yahoo Premium Mail, but by when will I have to do this and will I receive the above 14 days notice of closure of the account if I have not done so?

Hi David,
Not too sure how I missed this, sorry.
You’ll not get a 14 days notice per se for the email account but sometime before the 90 days are up you will get an email advising how you can sign up to Premium Mail.
After the 90 days the account goes on to a deletion list, and once the account is deleted it’s gone.
Thanks,
Stephanie

  • Keeping my BT Yahoo Premium Mail Account, I am hav...

    I cancelled my BT Broadband Option 3 subscription around Nov 20th 2011 and I discovered on the internet that my BT Yahoo Premium mail would be terminated 90 days after my BT Broadband was cancelled, I've had my bt email account for around 10 years so I don't want to lose it.
    I've been running around in circles trying to get the £1.54 monthly charge setup so that I can keep my exisiting BT Yahoo email account all have lead to a dead end .. could you please help me .....
    Here are some problems listed below that I've encountered:-
    1) I navigate to the following BT website link where it advertises to 'keep my email' account for bt yahoo premium for £1.54 / month, I enter my email account and it states "there is a problem with the status of your account" and doesn't allow me to progress further with the upgrade. Here is the link...
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=26508&s_cid=con_FURL_...
    I still have a bt.com/btyaoo account and a BT landline and I can setill see broadband being billed for Nov 2011 so I don't understand why it will not allow me to upgrade here on the link above.
    2) I was advised by BT operatives to go to the following alternative BT web page to upgrade to BT Yahoo premium mail and most of you will be more familiar with this one... however it only allows the user to generate a NEW BT Yahoo email address NOT KEEP your EXISTING email address despite the link advertising that you can keep it..... after entering my bank account details and I enter my btopenworld email account the web page stops with an error stating that my BT Yahoo email adress is 'already taken': here is the link, also there is a link from my http://home.bt.yahoo.com/  'my account' page to the very same link stated below... the link is named 'Upgrade To Premium Mail' which is very deceptive as it is not an upgrade of your exisiting email account its an entirely new email address that it allows you to create only and this is no good. Here is the link .. with the premium link right at the bottom...
    https://register.btinternet.com/cgi-bin/registernow?version=ie5&ex=1&product_type=PMR
    3) I was advised by a BT operator to contact the BT Yaho premium mail team on the phone (I have a BT phone landline btw) and I called 0808 100 6778 Option 2 (email) Option (1 Change email) on a Sunday at 11am and all I got was the following message then the line cut off, the team should have been there as the message stated but the help service team was not available which is perplexing .. here is the message is this service dead ?
    "Welcome to BT our advisors are available from 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 6:30pm Saturday to Sunday"
     Not true...
    I remember calling the yahoo premium email team around the 20th Nov 2011 (about a month ago) and they told me that I would receive an email warning me that my BT Yahoo email account would be cancelled in 90 days with an option to upgrade to premium... this email has not been received (I even checked bt yahoo spam folder) hence why I am getting worried about not being able to renew my BT Yahoo Email Account.
    4) I called up other BT Broadband and technical numbers but they can detect from my BT landline that I no longer have BT Broadband so those numbers are not availale to me for help.
    In summary it seems that you do have a service to upgrade to BT Yahoo Premium Email for BT users who have left BT Broadband but it is EXTREMELY difficualy to obtain to customers who are willing to pay for this service. Can anyone out there please help me. If I lose the email account it is a very serious matter to me as I have had it around 10+ years.

    I'm moving from BT Broadband. I'm wanting to keep the email address and have found that going here...
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12682/~/what's-the-difference-between-bt-yahoo!-premi...
    and then clicking on www.bt.com/premiummail gets you:
    Sorry, this page is currently unavailable
    The tip (as stated above) about phoning the number above worked well.
    I was told by the support person there is a 90 day grace period after the end of the BT Broadband and an email will come through on about day 86. The guy on the phone said ring the same number again then to upgrade to subscribe to the service.
    If there is a department in BT that looks at things that don't work on their website it might be worth fixing this.

  • Re: BT Yahoo Premium Mail

    Hi,
    How do you apply for BT Yahoo Premium Mail and associate the application with an existing @btinternet.com e-mail account?
    I only got the option to create a new account and an error when I tried to re-use my existing e-mail account.
    Thanks

    Moving from BT e-mail to Premium Mail   -  by forum member alcook101
    Following moving from BT Broadband to another supplier I wanted to keep my btinternet email addresss.
    Having just wasted a lot of time trying to get this sorted out, this how I got it sorted out.
    THE FOLLOWING DOES NOT WORK:
    1) The BT website options do not work. The web page is not set up for chrome. When using internet explorer it just came up with "problem with account" when I tried to log in.
    2) Ringing 0800-633-5335 - option 3 - the operator (David) did not really know what he was doing and I got nowhere. In the usual BT way was very polite and the same time completely unhelpful.
    THE FOLLOWING WORKED:
    In the end I rang 0800-633-5335 option 2. I got through to someone called "Sid".
    He eventually took my mobile number and rang through to another department to "downgrade" my email. This is a requirement of BT before upgrading to BT Premium email.
    Sid rang me back and said it was all sorted and that the charge was £ 1.54 per month. Therefore my emails and the email address would be preserved.
    He said there was a fault with the system in which a password change would be asked for. He said to ignore this - for this situation password change is not required.
    Sid then said that billing would be separate and could not be included on a BT bill. Therefore bank details were required.
    This didn't sound too good, however I didn't have much choice. 
    When logging into my email I then got this message:
    Service Change
    Thank you for changing services.
    With this service change, you will be receiving the following level of service:
    PRODUCT LEVEL OF SERVICE
    Mailbox Storage Unlimited primary, Unlimited sub

  • How do I get BT Yahoo Premium Mail?

    I am about to move from BT to another broadband provider, but I want to keep my btinternet email address. I understand I need to move to (and presumably pay for) BT Yahoo Premium Mail (I am on BT Yahoo Mail not BT Mail) but I can't find out how to do that?

    You can call BT on 0800.100.6778 who should be able to move it for you or see this link

  • BT Yahoo Premium Mail Account

    My BT Yahoo Premium account payment details need updating as the card expires soon but how do you do that. Trying to get in through the Yahoo "account info" goes nowhere due to a blocked page and I cannot create a BT ID as I have no account number or BT phone number.
    As with many other, getting loads of spam messages recently with many of them appearing to come from Paypal or Amazon so hope someone can help with either or both items

    If you contact BT at 0800 111 4567 they should be able to help.

  • Tabs in Yahoo premium mail no longer work with Firefox 37.

    In Yahoo mail premium-add free I can no longer access or close tabs. Messages open in tabs, tabs persist but I need to exit mail to close them. I can get back to In box and other categories but not the tabs. I figured it was Yahoo until I noticed the functions work with Chrome. Note: The free yahoo does not have multiple tabs and appears to be working normally. Regards

    Make sure that this also does not happen in Safe Mode:

  • E Mails from BT Yahoo Premium Mail

    Hello
    My first ever query on the Community Forum.
    Just two days ago when my server was downloading my current e mails it continued to send all my old e mails on the Server that I had already seen. On one occasion I had received 150+ before I found out what was going on. In my Server I have nearly 5,000 e mails and is there a way of stopping this or do I have to delete all my old e mails on my BT Yahoo Server.
    Many thanks if you can give me advice as to how to stop this.
    Regards  mjgh

  • Attachments "removed" before email is received Treo 700wx Verizon/Yahoo! mail

    I have a Treo 700wx and use Verizon with Yahoo premium mail service. I can send and receive emails but any attachments on incoming mail is "removed" before I receive it. I actually have a message at the bottom of my email that tells me attachments have been removed! Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Is it an option I need to change on my Treo software or what? I receive the attachments fine on my desktop when logged in to my Yahoo account. And I called Yahoo and they verified that their ssytem is working properly.

  • Bt Yahoo! Premium mail sub account can't use POP3

    Hi,
    Hope there is someone who can help me out with this email problem - I've tried everything I can think of and am still stuck!
    I have a btinternet.com premium mail account. The primary account works fine, no problems at all.
    I have a sub-account that also used to work fine, but since 9th September 2011 won't pick up email via POP3. I can log into it via webmail, I can post from Mozilla Thunderbird using SMTP, but when I try and pick up the mail via POP I get the following error message:
    Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded 'Access to this service is not permitted'.
    So, bearing in mind that I'm using the same mail client, the same server settings, the correct password (because I know it works with Webmail), the same firewall settings as the primary account which still works fine, is it reasonable to conclude that this is a BT Yahoo! server issue?
    And if so, does anyone have any idea how to get it resolved? I got transferred to the Premium Mail Help Dept, who wanted to be granted remote access to the box and hung up on me when I refused to allow them.
    Using the logging facility on Thunderbird, the crucial part of the handshake seems to be this bit:
    0[160f140]: SendUsername()
    0[160f140]: SEND: AUTH PLAIN

  • Premium Mail link broken for months - Please help

    I have been trying to upgrade to Premium Mail (as per many of the other posts I read on here)
    Every time I click on the Premium Mail link it tells me the page is broken. Thsi has been happening for a long while now. I can't find any way of doing it on Yahoo Mail website either. This is driving me nuts. I just want to keep my email address. We have already cancelled our broadband with BT since my boyfriend moved in and we consolidated phone lines.
    Please help.

    Your only hope is to contact Yahoo, as BT will have no more involvement as you are not one of their customers any more.

  • Transfer BT Yahoo premium email address

    I am looking to transfer from my current BB supplier to BT Broadband. I currently have a Premium BT Yahoo @btinternet/@btopenworld email address that I would like to keep but not have to pay the extra £1.50 a month for.
    Is there anything special I need to do to transfer this email? Do I have to do it before or after migrating my broadband.
    Also when in my BT Yahoo email account online, I have problems trying to access my account/billing information. I can login to read email but not get any further.
    Any ideas?

    Hi  jayemm,
    What Geoff has said is correct.
    You can transfer the email address over to your new BT BB account once it becomes active.
    Either send an email to the Moderators on the Forum: [email protected] or contact Premium Mail on 0808 100 6778 Option 3 and just tell them that you want to transfer the account that you're currently paying for onto your new BT BB account. They'll transfer it over and stop the Billing for it straight away!
    In terms of your Account/Billing information on http://bt.yahoo.com, what exactly is happening?
    In order for you to View the Account Info, you should just click on My Account at the top right hand corner of the screen when you first log-in and then click on the "My Account & Billing tab at the top of the screen. Once you click this, it should ask for your password again, but you should see the info you want then. Perhaps this isn't available to you becuae your not a BT BB customer yet?
    Let me know?
    Cheers

  • Help setting on Yahoo! mail account.

    When I go to make a new acount in Mail it asks me for
    Account Type: (.Mac, POP, IMAP, EXCHANGE)
    Account Discription:
    Full Name:
    Username:
    Password:
    I have a Yahoo! Mail account and I'm quite sure that it's a POP server. So when I choose the POP server it asks for my Account Discription which is default "POP ACCOUNT" and than my namw and e-mail address...So i enter my E-mail address and hit continue.
    The next step is to set up your Incoming Mail Server. This is where I get stuck. I don't know what server yahoo works off of...is it just "mail.yahoo.com" i'm not sure! but when I do enter "mail.yahoo.com" and than my password it says..
    "The POP server “mail.yahoo.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
    If you continue, you may not be able to receive any email."

  • Yahoo! Mail send problem

    Hello all, anyone know when we will see a fix for the Yahoo! Mail sending problem? (This is when the iphone appears to have sent an email by playing the "swoosh" sent mail sound, but the message was not sent, the way users have been getting Yahoo! Mail to send again is by turning their iphone off then back on).
    Cheers

    For what it's worth I also had this problem with Yahoo mail on my iPhone. After getting tired of waiting for Yahoo to do something about it, I decided to cancel my Premium Yahoo account and switch to Gmail. I have to tell you Gmail has been amazing and I haven't looked back since. IMAP Gmail on my iPhone has made my email experience a pure joy.
    BTW - I had my Yahoo account for over 7 years. And did you know that Yahoo is an acronym for You Always Have Other Options? Well I took them up on their advice since I wasn't too impressed with their service! My 2 cents.

  • Signing up for BT Premium Mail

    Okay, I know there has been chat about this, but does anyone know how to actually do it?
    I left BT BB about 18 months ago. Tried repeatedly to sign up for BT Premium Mail. Always failed. No clues as to how to make it work.
    Now, my BT Yahoo email account still works... I have been signing in via PAYG (well, I haven't as that doesn't seem to work nowadays ... but let's not go there right now).
    The error I get is always :
    ... after I click on the 'sign up' page 
    So, from page:  http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=27277
    Click on the 'Get Premium Mail' == https://register.btinternet.com/cgi-bin/registernow?version=ie5&ex=1&product_type=PMR
    And then you get the above screen.  Always.  For over 18 months.  I've tried this in various browsers ... all give same response.
    Can anyone suggest how to resolve this issue.   I've raised this before, but no-one from BT seems capable of answering this very basic question.
    Anyone?

  • Yahoo e-mail won't update the time since it's last update

    Ok, so Yahoo Push has been unreliable since the release of the iPhone. However as of today I have a new issue.
    When I go into my Yahoo e-mail Inbox on my iPhone and hit the update button, my e-mail account will update and download my new e-mails, however the "Updated Time" at the bottom of the screen seems to be stuck at 9:43am.
    I have done the following to fix the issue to no avail:
    - soft reset
    - hard reset
    - deleted the yahoo email account from the iPhone and re-installed it
    - cleared cache, history and cookies from my iPhone
    This issue only happens with my Yahoo INBOX. When I go to my trash, sent or other folders once the update has happened the "Updated Time" will change in those folders.
    BTW - I am using a Yahoo Plus! account and switching to a Gmail account isn't a feasible solution.
    Anyone else experiencing this issue? Anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Your help is appreicated.

    Out of desperation here is what I did to fix my problem. I should note that while this refreshed the time for when my inbox was most recently updated it also made my Yahoo Push emails come through immediateley and is still continuing to work.
    1. Log into my Yahoo account (on my computer) and put all my inbox emails in a temporary holding folder
    2. Update my Yahoo inbox on my iPhone so that it will show no emails in my Yahoo inbox
    3. Delete my Yahoo account on my iPhone
    4. Log back into Yahoo on my computer and drag all the the emails that I placed in the "holding folder" back into my inbox
    5. Hard reset my iPhone
    6. Create a new Yahoo account on my iPhone using the settings provided by the iPhone
    7. Once the iPhone confirms the account viola...time is now updated on my inbox to show the most current date/time that it was updated and my Yahoo push emails are coming through without a problem.
    Hope it works for you as well.
