SSL Secure Socket Layer ensures that all data exchanged between your email client and the BT Email server is encrypted making it almost impossible for anyone to steal your username or password To protect our email server from abuse by spammers, we also require all emails sent through our email service to have SMTP authentication. SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an authentication process that identifies the origin of emails; it stops them being sent anonymously and therefore helps to combat spam Enabling SMTP authentication is easy; you usually switch it on by ticking a box called "My server requires authentication" in your email program's settings.

However when BT decided to migrate off from Yahoo in which was subsequently stopped in Sep , some people were using the yahoo servers. Those migrated naturally had issues with their email access. So there are still many accounts left on the Yahoo servers - hence their server addresses can still work.
