So yesterday was the supposed big turn off of POP3 access and yes indeed my email clients have all stopped working with the exception of the Outlook mobile app. I can still access my email on my phone but not on my pc. My main email client with 25 years of email history has ground to a halt. Web access is not a practical solution and migration (without a domain) appears impossible.
I understand that this has been done to improve security although I am a little confused why BT have not implemented the modern security protocols that the rest of the planet have adopted.
But here's the thing, my partner's email (also btconnect) still works using POP3. I checked back and found another btconnect email address (created at the same time as my main one). I entered the details into my "insecure" email client and guess what, it works. Go figure.
