It's designed to be slow.
It'll make you want to buy superfastbroadband just to make you do what you used to do at the same speed as you used to do it.
Isn't technology wonderful?
Methyl, my normal email client is/was BT Internet, which has always been fine until recently - they have been mentioning about moving to BT Mail for a while now, with a view to aligning profiles and passwords on both the BT Mail and BT accounts (or so it says on my log-in page today).
Plowter, we've already got fibre-optic broadband from BT so surely can't get much faster than that....
Methyl, I'm with you. Too late tonight for me to be technical, but thanks for the tip - I'll have a better head on tomorrow. Not Mac, not Android. All other sites are functioning as before - it's the new format of the emails which is throwing me. I'll repost in the tech section if it's still irking me tomorrow.
Thanks gran, I suspect you could be right. There were something like 1400 emails, I've already cleared out 300 - I think some housekeeping is in order.
Bt Mail is a bl88dy disgrace. Its been slow to very slow for ages, and I still can't get to work in CHROME, so now use Firefox instead. If I hadn't had the same email address for 21 years, I would change to something else !
