Hi Mike
I think BT charge you if you move elsewhere but want to retain your BT Email
address.
You also forgot another complaint, (smile), the website isn't that
accessible for trying to move your spam messages or adjust the filter
either!
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Clive and all,
BT are really p***ing me off right now...
Firstly all this spam filtering nonsense, then the fact that I keep
getting emails telling me I don't appear to be using my 'free' 50GB
cloud storage...which I am not using because the bloody BT cloud app is
written in Qt and as such is not accessible.
And don't get me started on Indian call centres, where I am forced to
try to believe the bloke I am speaking to is called 'Steve' or 'Kevin'
when clearly it isn't. Which is insulting to both me and 'Steve'. And
because English is his second language he can only follow a flow chart
which has answers to questions asked by 90% of the muppets who phone
them, but not the questions asked by the 10% who, like me, have a
technical question, or more often a complaint.
I am seriously thinking of ditching BT and moving to somebody else if I
can keep the same email address.
BT just don't listen to their customers.
Mike
