It that should be the case, I most definitely will be changing to a new ISP when my existing BT contract expires on 4th September 2018, because being able to use Apple 'Mail' on my iPad Pro and my forthcoming iPhone is absolutely essential to me. I intend to buy an iPhone next year but, as that would use the same iOS as my iPad Pro, obviously I would encounter the same problem.įrom what I have read and heard elsewhere this problem with Apple 'Mail' seems to be peculiar to BT (Yahoo?) servers, and that there does not appear to be any issues of this type with other UK ISPs.

The iPad Pro is my first iOS device, and I have never used a smartphone, but I had anticipated that it would have been a straightforward process to add the BT email addresses to its 'Mail' program.

Therefore, I find it difficult to comprehend why there should be problems now. Unable to verify account name or password.ĭuring the 4 years (2009 - 2013) that I previously used BT as my ISP, and in the following 4 years (2013 -2017) using Plusnet, I never had any problems adding email addresses as accounts in 'Mail' on my Mac Pro whether using Leopard, Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. When I try an alternative route using 'Add a Mail account' in 'Mail Preferences', although I enter a correct BT email address and password, after several minutes this message appears: Sorry, we don't recognise this email address. When I correctly enter any of my BT email addresses a message appears stating: The last of these, El Capitan, is the latest OS which can be used on my 2009 Mac Pro desktop computer.Īnyway, whichever OS I use the result is still the same. Now, 3 months later, I have been trying to add the new BT email addresses to other SSDs but am unable to do so whichever OS is installed on the drive - whether it is Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion or El Capitan.

The only problem I have encountered with the BT email addresses using that drive is that recently on a few occasions some of those accounts are showing the outgoing BT mail server as being offline whereas the incoming BT mail server is still online. I am also encountering the same problem when trying to add the BT addresses as accounts in 'Mail' on my Apple 2009 Mac pro desktop computer, on which I use SSDs with 3 different Mac OSs - Snow Leopard (10.6), Mountain Lion (10.8) and El Capitan (10.11).Īfter I migrated to BT from Plusnet on 5th September 2017 I set up new BT email addresses on the following day, and I was able to add them all as accounts in 'Mail' on an SSD with Mountain Lion as its OS.

This occurs whichever of my BT email addresses I try to add as an account in 'Mail' even though I am entering the correct BT username and password on every occasion. The username or password for '' is incorrect. Whenever I try to set up an account a message appears stating: You can't create a new email account through Sky as we no longer offer this service.I have just bought a new Apple iPad Pro but am unable to set up any of my BT email addresses as accounts in its 'Mail' program.
