The problem with having an e mail address from your ISP is that when you change you have to change your e mail address again, and lose access to your old address.
For this very reason I recently changed my e mail address to mail.com, so that I would feel more able to switch in the future.
chrissa, as the others say you'll have to register for a BT email address - is it a btinternet one you want? Your aol one won't work on BT. BTinternet is now part of BTYahoo but I have been able to keep my btinternet email address.
I registered with BT with my aol address and get all my messages from BT into that account. I realise that I have to get an 'btinternet" one, but I can't see how on the website. Am I just being thick?
