if you are already using an email client, try sending as @btinternet (should just work! )
else you have to login via mail.yahoo.com
and then you can select the names you want to be able to send from

Thanks. I tend to use the Yahoo! web page so I might try fiddling with the settings. Do you have more specific instructions?

Ah, I see! So, despite Orange UK handing off its BB to BTw, its email is still dealt with by France Telecom. Interesting to know.

I, very occasionally, use BTInternet.com and have the standard port and server setting in my email client. Emails go as @btinternet.com and replies come in without problems.

Use a email client; you can use any sending addy. I got half way through saying similar, then it occurred to me it isn't the server bothering him, it's his email address, e.g. [email protected].
I don't see that [email protected] in the email and reply addresses sent via any SMTP server will do - or will it?

It's just a domain registration.
Er, no, its the WHOIS for the IP range. Nothing to do with domains.

As others have said, register a domain and use a good host (you can always switch domain registrars and hosts if you need) but it frees you from being dependent on an ISP or their whims about changing their name, best thing I ever did.
Virgin (ADSL) => Namesco => Newnet => O2 => Plusnet => Zen => Newnet => Zen => Freeola => Vivaciti (using O2 Wholesale DSL) => Xilo (C&W Wholesale)

it occurred to me it isn't the server bothering him, it's his email address, e.g. [email protected]. Sorry, don't get you! Wasn't talking about servers but about sending email (& reply if you like) addys. He can use [email protected] as he wishes or anything else under the sun.
I presume his problem is that BT (or whatever proxies for it) Webmail prevents him from sending as the newer @btinternet and auto sends as the older original @btopenworld. Hence my suggestion of using a mail client.

Nobody has previously suggested that, probably cuz it doesn't address his Q.
