[Gloucs] Extra ISP accounts

[Barry Nelson]

I don't know whether Yahoo would do what Clara net did for me, but it is
worth investigating.  I became a ClaraNet customer in the early 1990s in the
days of dial-up internet accounts.  Later, when home highway (ISDN) became
available in my village, I bough internet access from BT and terminated the
ClaraNet dial-up account.  However, ClaraNet were (and still are) prepared
to continue to provide me with an email (and usenet) account which I access
through the internet.  The annual charge for that is something like £9.  It
does mean that you have to set up your email client to authenticate to the
SMTP server since otherwise the server would treat your email as spam.

regards,

Barry

Hi,

I have had Plusnet broadband and now I have Plusnet Fibre Broadband.

Am I right in thinking that you want to switch your ISP to Plusnet but want
to keep your old bt yahoo email addresses for your family?
