on OK and then compose a general email someting like..

That's a great tip!

I'd also add that if you put your new email address in the To: field by itself, just to drive the message home. Plus Outlook Express "remembers" email addresses that are To: line of emails, AFAIK.

I'm in exactly that situation - was BT ADSL for a few years, now moved away.

This issue was a major worry for me when I ditched my £27.99/£21.99 512Kbps BT Yahoo Openworld account for a £10/m 1Mbps circuit elsewhere.

The good news (in mid 2005 anyway) is that they downgraded my main a/c from being an ADSL broadband a/c with its various broadband settings/perks to a regular pay-as-you-go a/c accessible by dial up modem on a 08... number.

That PAYG main a/c is restricted to FEWER email a/cs - so if you have (from memory) up to 10 email a/cs you'll be cut down to 4 or 5 (from memory).

You can PICKU UP email from the BT POP servers just as normal however you're on the Internet, but as a PAYG a/c you can NOT send email via their secure smtp mail server WHILE you are logged on to the Internet via other ISPs such as your new ADSL one. (This takes a while to ripple through though and you may be confused about it.) Sending email on the BT a/c has to be done via BT's web-form email.

The limit on the PAYG a/c is that you are required to dialup at least every 90 days to maintain it as an active a/c.

Has been working fine for me for 6-8 months.

You can send your outgoing emails from your BT account via your new ISPS smtp server.

Very interesting stuff. I had problems with spam and then went to Google Mail (GMail) and it has all gone away. If anyone wants a Gmail account send me a PM and I will send you an invite. You get 2Gb of storage, it comes through Outlook Express etc. just as your normal ISP E-mail would.
