Is bt mail pop3 or imap

According to BT's official documentation, BT Mail uses IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) as its default protocol for accessing email accounts.

IMAP allows you to access your email account from multiple devices and synchronize your emails, contacts, and calendar across all devices. It's a popular choice for email clients like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Apple Mail.

However, it's worth noting that BT Mail also supports POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) for accessing email accounts. POP3 is an older protocol that allows you to download emails from the server to your local device, but it doesn't synchronize your emails across devices.

If you're using a third-party email client, you can usually choose between IMAP and POP3 when setting up your BT Mail account. If you're unsure which protocol to use, IMAP is generally recommended as it provides better synchronization and access to your email account across multiple devices.

Here are the IMAP and POP3 settings for BT Mail:

Remember to replace "Your BT Mail email address" and "Your BT Mail password" with your actual BT Mail credentials.
