Plusnet to use new BT email system?

https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2020/02/isp-bt...

We did contact BT about this and they have confirmed that a closed email migration trial is being conducted, which as expected involves moving BT Yahoo! customers onto BT�s own email platform (echoes of a 2014 attempt to do something similar). However BT seemed unable to say whether or when the trial would be turned into a full migration, although our sources expect this to be very soon.

In addition to the above, our sources have also said that BT plans to use the same email service for sibling ISP Plusnet because the latter is alleged to have some issues with scalability. At present we have no information on when the change for Plusnet will take place but we assume that BT will want to complete their migration first (the learning experience will be useful).

At least this will mean the Plusnet service FINALLY gets SSL/TLS.

They already have but it is a secret. Read more than the first few posts.

Thanks, those seems to work. And yet their mail settings page is still not updated with this highly important information: https://www.plus.net/help/email-guides/how-to-set-up...

I only found out because the trial system they had stopped working one day!

Sky discontinued their email provision for new customers, that seems like the right approach to me.

OTOH Plusnet stopped charging customers for for email when they introduced their new billing system. BT email spam filtering stopped me from receiving an advert email from Kuoni. I actually booked the holiday as I got the email via another route.

I don't know now BT/Plusnet email functions, but I add contacts to my Gmail webmail address book if I think there's a possibility they may be spam filtered.
