Keeping Email after I leave BT

Hello
I am leaving BT in a few weeks, but wish to keep my email address.
I received an email saying I am leaving, and at the bottom it said I could still use my BT email account in the future using dial up. Unfortunately, I do not have a modem to use for dial up. They are so last millenium, so I did not buy one for my latest PC.
On the main page of the BT Yahoo login (I think) there was a link you could use if you have left BT to activate you email for £1.50 a month. Unfortunately I could not use this as my email address was already taken.
I am quite happy paying a few pounds to keep my email, but I am confused as to what I should be doing.
Also, I have heard there may be problems using an account using anything other than webmail. I want to continue using Windows live mail, and my mobile to receive emails. Is that possbile?
Many thanks

I think it does. Andy_N is the expert on e-mail issues. I expect he will make an appearance on here soon

  • Youtube audio keeps playing after I leave video page.

    Video and audio play just fine but when I backtrack or close tab the audio still plays. If i reload the tab the audio will stop but i've never had this issue before. I have the most current firefox downloaded and have even deleted and re-downloaded the browser twice.

    First you have two Flash Player installed
    *Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
    *Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502
    Try disable the hardware acceleration:
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Keeping information after a person leaves

    I have a PERSON table which is our list of people in the college. It's my main list and all other databases relate to it's ID column.
    I am creating a list of grants and want to relate it to the PEOPLE table and have done so (see two table descriptions below). Now, when I need the first and last name of the person with the grant, I just include the PEOPLE table in the query and have the information.
    SELECT
    g.g_c_id,g.start_date,g.end_date,g.title,
    p.id,p.fname,p.lname
    FROM grants_contracts g, people p
    WHERE g.id = p.id
    The problem is that when people leave the college, we delete them from the PEOPLE table. While I don't have it cascade the delete to the GRANTS_CONTRACTS table so the information will still stay after they leave, I no longer will properly receive the first and last name and other info in the PEOPLE table. In fact, I bet I receive 0 records returned since the person no longer is in there.
    So, to cure this, should I populate the GRANTS_CONTRACTS table with the information that I know that I'll need long term? I suppose we never know what we'll need long term. Or should I just make the person in the PEOPLE table 'inactive', keeping their information forever and always.
    Or is there another solution?
    create table PEOPLE (
    id NUMBER Primary Key,
    type VARCHAR2(50),
    fname VARCHAR2(100),
    lname VARCHAR2(100),
    title VARCHAR2(100),
    dept VARCHAR2(50),
    create table GRANTS_CONTRACTS (
         g_c_id NUMBER Primary Key,
         id NUMBER REFERENCES people(id),
    date_added date,
         start_date date,
         end_date date,
    title VARCHAR2(300),
    funding_agency VARCHAR2(300),
         funding NUMBER,
         abstract VARCHAR2(3000),
         related_file VARCHAR2(100),
         status VARCHAR2(50)
    thanks all.
    daniel

    I would just keep the person table intact, and add a status column to show that they are inactive, terminated or whatever. There are several disadvantages with duplicating the data into the grants table. What happens when someone changes their last name? What if you later decide you need another column from person but have not replicated it?

  • Can I keep my btopenworld email if I leave bt broa...

    Probably not the best place to ask but I am trying to find out if I can keep my btopenworld email if I leave bt broadband?  If so, is it free or does it cost?  If not, can I do a 'global' send of my emails to another account?
    Many thanks.
    Valerie

    Hi Valerie,
    imjolly is right and you will need to take the premium mail package to keep the btopenworl da ddress alive.
    Alternatively, you could get a new email address for your new provider and put a mail forward on from the btopenworld address to your new one. Therefore when anyone sends you an email then it will automaitcally come to you. This helps when moving folk over to your your new address.
    Also, you could look at buying your own domain name which these days are as cheap as chips. What you do is pick whatever you like (as long as no one else has bought it before) and it ends .co.uk, .com, .org.uk, etc. For example mydomain.com or bluesky.co.uk. These can be pick up from 1and1 for about £2 a year.
    What this means is that you setup an email address on the domain host portal like [email protected] and then do a mail forward to what ever email address you have. That what if you move broadband providers again then you just simply update the email address the [email protected] points to. Your contacts won't see the difference. You will need to speak with your service proveder and ask "how to send my domain through your outgoing mail server?".

  • Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

    Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

    It sounds like you may be "synced" to an IMAP email server with your ISP.  You would need to go into Mail>Preferences and set the messages to be removed from the IMAP server after some period of time so they don't redownload to your computer.  That's one possiblility.  Another is if you are synced with iCloud, then the mail is stored on your iCloud server backup and will redownload until you remove it.
    Hope this helps

  • TS3899 I have trouble keeping emails on inbox after upgraded to ios 7.

    I have trouble keeping emails on my iphone 4 inbox after upgraded to ios 7.
    It kept disappearing every week. Even though "Flagged" shows 7 mails, I can only view 2 of them, and cannot view rest of the 5 emails.
    It had never happened on ios 6.
    My setting is the POP for incoming/SMTP for outgoing.
    Tried to fix the problem, I deleted my e-mail account(Shaw), and recreated with Exchange server, but it didn't work.
    So I recreated my e-mail account with POP/SMTP again.
    And set on"Never" delete from server.
    It's very frustrating and please give me some solutions!

  • My iPhone 5 drops inbox emails that I leave in my inbox after reading

    My iPhone 5 drops inbox emails that I leave in my inbox after I read them. Is there an easy fix?

    I have a 4S and was having similar problems.  I finally unselected all music in iTunes, sync'd the phone and there were still songs on there.  I then went into Settings/General/Usage/Music/edit and deleted all.  And guess what, there were still songs wanting to play.  From the play screen in Music I hit the next selection >> and all disappeared.  This seemed to clear out those "ghost" songs.  I have no idea where they were stored in the phone, but this did eradicate them.  I then built new playlists in iTunes and sync'd my phone and all is working now.  Hope this helps.

  • Help I lost my email after deleting my mail acount

    I lost my email after deleting my mail acount there was nothoing in the trash and I have important email whish were in the reception folder. What can I do ? Thanks

    It all depends on the type of account and how it was configured. For IMAP-type accounts, mail is stored on the server, and setting up the account again is all that's needed to regain access to your mail.
    If you deleted a POP account, however, then all your mail stored locally in that account's mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
    Remove Account
    Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
    This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
    For each mail account, Mail creates a folder within ~/Library/Mail/ whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, .Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Deleting the account causes this folder and everything within it to be deleted as well.
    If the POP account was configured to leave mail on the server for some time instead of removing it right away, incoming mail that's still on the server can be downloaded by setting up the account again, just like for IMAP accounts, but keep in mind that this would only work for received (i.e. not sent) mail that has not yet been removed from the server.
    If the messages are not on the server, and you don't have a backup, your only option is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

  • Hi there, i was wondering if there is a feature in Thunderbird that will allow automatic printing of an email after it has been sent? Thank you

    Hi guys,
    I was hoping there might be a feature or add-on that will allow me to automatically print an email after I send it. For the purpose of creating a paper trail we have to print out at least the 1st page of all emails sent to our clients. Love using Thunderbird and would like to keep using it. I know there is a feature in Outlook. Hope you guys have one too :)

    There is an add-on, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/send-filter/ Send Filter], that allows filters to act on the Sent folder, and there is an add-on, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/filtaquilla/ FiltaQuilla], that adds Print to the filter Actions. I can't confirm whether or not you can get them to work together to achieve your aim.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.

    Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.  I have used itunes to restore and also recover.  Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer.  The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not.  Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged.  Any thoughts?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
      - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
    Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself.

  • FLVcomponents keep loading when I leave

    I'm using the FLVPlayback component in CS3 (progressive
    downloading). I have several component instances laid out in the
    site in various places. With the current setup of the site, it is
    most convenient to place each FLV component instance in a separate
    frame.
    Here's the
    LINK
    First, I had a problem that the audio would keep playing even
    if I clicked a button to leave the section where the FLV instance
    resides. I solved this by coding the FLV to "stop()" when the video
    fades out (the current video fades out before switching frames)
    Now the problem is that if you leave the keyframe that the
    video is in while the video is still buffering, eventually you hear
    the audio from that video kick in and play.
    How do I stop a video from loading after I leave the frame it
    resides in? Is it foolish to set things up this way? Should I have
    one omnipresent video player that merely responds to buttons on
    different frames? Is removing the "source" a valid way to stop a
    video from downloading mid-stream? I think there's a gap in my
    general understanding of the FLV component and it's relation to the
    video that it is hosting.
    I'm no newbie to AS, and have been tackling AS3 with zeal for
    a few months, but I admit my brain is still works better with the
    visual interface, hence my tendency to let keyframes control
    actions. Don't be afraid to toss coding solutions at me.
    Thanks in advance

    Well, I did alter my code so that the source property sets to
    "stop.flv" (a non-existent video), when you leave the frame where
    the FLVplayback instance resides (rather than just stopping the
    video). When you revisit that video, since the source was
    originally inputted into the parameters panel for the component, it
    reloads the correct video. (no permanent change has been made to
    the source of the component instance residing in the keyframe.)
    This does stop everything, but seems like a poor way of
    operating...Please still let me know what more professional way
    there is of doing this.

  • Hotmail / MSN email continuously sends me the same email after deleting

    I have an iPhone4 and I have several email account. Only account I have issues with is my MSN email account. I can get new messages just fine however if I delete the email about 2 minutes later I get a "new" email indicator and it happens to be the email I just deleted. Same time stamp and everything. I have my settings to remove from the server when moved from my inbox and also to erase the deleted messages after 1 day. So my settings seem fine but this account is annoying.
    How can I fix this?

    Still waiting to hear from anyone.
    Some of my friends with androids seem to be having the same problem. I've been keeping email's in my inbox for over a week just to delete them. This is getting annoying.

  • FIM Sync service keeps restarting after being disabled

    Hi - We are deploying the SharePoint User Profile Store connector and I have followed all the steps here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn511003(v=ws.10).aspx
    However the FIM Sync service keeps enabling and restarting itself - can't see anything in the event logs except a Evt ID: 2001 - Service was started successfully
    What is starting this service? How can I stop so that it remains in the disabled state?
    Thanks
    J

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to disable the FIM Sync service, but FIM Sync service keeps restarting after being disabled.
    I suggest you start the FIM Sync service again and stop it, then disable it.
    You shouldn't need to start those services manually - SharePoint will do everything itself when you start the User Profile Sync service in Central Administration.
    Restarted the User Profile Synchronization Service in Central Administration.(Central Administration -> System Settings -> Manage services on server -> User Profile Synchronization Service.)
    Stop the FIM Sync service and then disable it.
