Why You Need to Backup BT Mail Account

As of October 26, 2022, BT no longer allows the creation of new email addresses for either Basic or Premium accounts, except for users who already have an existing BT Mail account. Given this limitation, it is crucial to backup BT mails using reliable IMAP backup software for several reasons:

Account Security: Losing your only BT Mail account could mean losing vital communications.
Service Changes: If BT discontinues its email service, backups will save your data.

Leaving BT: If you cancel your broadband, you could lose your email unless you upgrade to Premium BT Mail.
Data Protection: Regular backups protect against hacking or accidental deletion.

Additionally, it simplifies the process of emails migration to popular services such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, and others, allowing users to maintain their email history and access while transitioning to new platforms, if necessary.
