Hi,
It doesn't really solve the problem, but have you considered setting
the bt email address to forward to a gmail account then having outlook
get the email via gmail? That way you get a nice web ui to access it
when you're out and about along with googles amazing anty spam and
lodes of storage; you could even set the reply to address in outlook
to be the btinternet address to make the gmail account invisible to
everyone.
I've done this with our tiscali address for just over 4 years and it
works extremely well.
Cheers,
Ben.

Dear Barry:
If it is Outlook 2007 here is a link from Microsoft:

Let me know if that works.

Hi,
I've a machine here with a btinternet.com address, that has been spotty on authenticating for a few weeks. The wife to be finally got fed up and nabbed me to go fix.
Here's what I've tried
1. Delete and re-enter the email account information.
2. Going online to change the account password.
3. Trying to re-enter the new account password.
4. Creating a new Outlook profile, and putting the email account into it.
5. For giggles using their ISP help software, and letting it automatically enter the information. it still fails on the pw authentication
6. Ringing the lovely people at the outsourced call centre. Explaining the above steps and having the guy go, "Uh" "Then having him change the pw".
Still nothing working.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Barry.
