Before you connect
What you need
Your BT address
btinternet.com and btopenworld.com addresses work directly. Legacy talk21.com addresses were migrated and now sign in as yourname.t21@btinternet.com with the same password.
Your normal email password
BT has no app passwords and no way to generate one. Your usual BT Email password is exactly what IMAP expects.
An account with client access
BT Broadband customers and paid Premium email subscribers can use email apps. The free Basic accounts given to ex-customers are webmail only and cannot connect over IMAP.
BT questions
The specifics for your provider.
Under the hood
Server settings we auto-fill
You never type these. We detect them from your address and verify them live against BT’s servers — they’re here for the curious.

BT Email has no CalDAV interface for outside apps, so this connection covers mail only.
