It appears that the problem is with BT's underlying mail service provider, Yahoo - and that other (non BT) services which also rely on Yahoo are impacted. BT talks about moving its service from the Yahoo platform, but never seems to get round to it, or not for a significant number of its customers.
Alas, the days of BT running their own email servers are long gone. My BT email service is provided by Microsoft (Office 365) which has been totally reliable. I'm not sure which BT packages/services you may need to get email provided by Microsoft, but it may be worth investigating if you're unhappy with Yahoo! email.

BT chooses which platform your e-mail address(es) is/ are parented on. Mine is/ are on Yahoo (which was their default platform way-back when BT and Yahoo partnered - now e-mail is all that is left of that partnership). They were planning to migrate all their services away from Yahoo (and indeed have partly done so - my Yahoo (as opposed to BT Yahoo Mail) log-on now takes me back to BT screens - I can no longer log-on to the Yahoo news server). However although the service is now run by BT the platform it runs on is Yahoo's - and it is this platform which has failed. Office 365 (Outlook) is a mail handler (ap) but it takes its mail from the server platforms it is parented on.


Edited to note that I have accessed one email sent this afternoon over my version of Outlook. So some things are coming through via the Microsoft ap, (and also via the native Mail ap on Windows 10). But I suspect only some.

    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
