Additional settings

• Make sure to enable "Less secure apps" in your BTinternet account settings to allow Live Mail to access your email account. You can do this by logging into your BTinternet account, going to the "Security" section, and enabling the option.
• If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) with your BTinternet account, you may need to generate an app password and use that instead of your regular password.

After completing these steps, your BTinternet email account should be added to Live Mail, and you should be able to send and receive emails using your BTinternet account.
