BT Basic email - free? Functioning?

NeilPMcColl

I left BT but kept a couple of legacy btopenworld email addresses for which I am paying £7.50 per month - very expensive in my view.  BT website now offers me free Basic email (web browser only).  Anyone tried this yet?

It'll be stripped to the bone very basic email services, look at, reply, forward, etc.   Probably won't have half the bells and whistles that you may get such as drag-and-drop.

Of course if you don't need the legacy addresses then just close them and use Gmail or Yahoo or Outlook.com.  Free email addresses that are not tied to a provider.

Good points.  Probably ok for me as these are legacy addresses so only monitored and used to get correspondents to move to the new addresses.
