BT doesn't support Outlook - and I cannot get all the settings right. When I
test the account settings (there's a wizard in BT Yahoo to set it up) I get a
confirmation email - so that's good. But the incoming email does not land in
Outlook. I currently have the LAN connection box checked which doesn't seem
right. If I compose an email in Outlook, it is sent OK, likewise if I do that
through bt.yahoo.com - just that every time Outlook (POP3 etc) doesn't
capture it.
 
Try playing with your authentication settings on the accounts tab.

How, then, do you know it was sent?

Are you certain your POP server settings are correct?
 
Tools /Email accounts / View or change


POP 3 settings:

Incoming mail server POP3 and outgoing SMTP are both mail.btinternet.com


More settings / Outgoing server

My outgoing server SMTP requires authentication check yes

More settings / Advanced

Incoming server POP3 port 110
Outgoing server SMTP port 25
