Modifying existing Outlook Express
settings to work with your BT Business
Broadband connection
If you currently send and receive email from another mail service
provider and you wish to use your BT Business Broadband connection
to continue to do so, you must adjust the Outlook Express setting
for these accounts. It will also be necessary to register any domain
names you use in your email addresses with BT Business Broadband.
Refer to “Using Domain Names” on page 22
Please note:
Due to security restrictions put in place by most mail
service providers, you cannot send email using an alternate mail
provider’s domain name (for example, [e-mail]).
Your ability to receive email sent to [e-mail]
will not be affected.
