Update
Tried BT Mail again in IE11 and Chrome had the same problem, personal folders were erratic, sometimes they opened and sometimes they wouldn't!
I decided to install Mozilla Thunderbird and added the BT Mail without a hitch! All personal folders were transferred with the save emails and able to open them!
In conclusion, BT Mail seems to hang when I connect via BT.com although the internet connection is around 13Mbps but no problems using Thunderbird!
