BT email on smartphone

Monanore

What's the best way to use BT email on an android phone ?

It seems ( I'm probably wrong ) that there must be 3 methods -

- the BT website

- BT's own app

- an email client

I'm thinking the email client route.   Do you agree, and which would be the best ?

Thanks !

 I would imagine using the website on your phone will be the least easy to use but it's all down to personal preference really. If you do use another email client (Outlook, Gmail or another one) then you will need to manually enter the BT email settings

Best is to move away from BT (or any ISP provided) altogether as it restricts your ability to move ISP in the future. 
Better to use a service like Gmail where your email address is independent of any ISP.

You however do as you wish and connect BT email to a client (which could also be Gmail to help the transition) with the details you need at https://www.bt.com/help/email/manage-email-account/manual-settings/what-are-the-settings-for-outgoing-and-incoming-bt-email-servers#:~:text=To find out if you,set to IMAP or POP3.

Try them all.

If you already have a Gmail account (likely since you have an Android phone) then you could check out all methods in half an hour.

Then change to another email supplier.

Email client is usually most convenient on a phone.

I use Email Blue Mail - Calendar - Apps on Google Play on Android, also available for IOS. Never had any problem with it...Picks up 5 different email addresses for me. I use it on my Windows 11 PC also.

Gmail, no need for any other 3rd party email client.

It is an email client on the phone, the same as the rest and no better really.

Have to agree, I've got Outlook on one phone and Gmail on another, both getting the same 3 email accounts. Pretty much functionally identical (which you'd expect).
