BT should have provided him with a BT email address and password as well
as a User name and password - have a look throuh all the letters they have
sent him (of course that info may have been sent to him by email to his
new BT address ! or to the preferred email address he gave them when he
set up the account) any other email address will need to be linked to his
BT account in order to use their mail system etc to help prevent spammers
using their system. I had to set this up some years ago in order to use my
existing argonet and riscos addresses.

The POP3 server and SMTP server are both mail.btinternet.com and the
security or authentication setting is the main email address and password
as supplied by BT - NOT the separate User name and password that BT
supply. I think I had to set the port but cannot remember - the URL below
suggests port 25 or 587.

The news server is news.btconnect.com and the security / authentication
setting is the User name and password that BT supplies (NOT email and
password).


The following url might help:

http://www.pdoc.co.uk/btbroadband.shtml

which also has links to the BT site.
