Not at all @Anonymous 
I am the one at fault! I just read your post, I never checked the link provided. However if nothing else it
just goes to show, I really didn't need to read the link, as I could post from first hand experience of using
BTYahoo Mail:smileywink:
(So....the fact it was 5 years old was irrelevant....)
As already mentioned, the article is from 5 years ago so you can correctly assume that email systems and spam filtering solutions have advanced ALOT since then. I'm sure BT Yahoo email got a makeover a couple of years ago which will have meant a change in the backend of their email system.
Is anyone still finding that BT Yahoo email is slow?
A bigger concern of BT Yahoo email users should be how hackers are able to send emails containing malicious links from their accounts to their entire address book. I see these daily at my work and I often wonder not only how the hackers manage it or why as they never delete anything, but why BT or Yahoo haven't been taken to task for it. I also see alot of fake "distress" emails from these accounts to everyone in their contacts stating that they are in a foriegn city, been robbed and need a hefty monetary amount to get home!
I should probably also point out that this isn't isolated to BT Yahoo email accounts but also Yahoo and Hotmail

An update on all this.
Yesterday I was quite positive in my post about BT/Yahoo mail....I think that comment jinxed me!!
From 2.30 pm my incoming emails stopped completely. My inbox was rather like the Marie Celeste ....
It remained like this for a good few hours.
In desperation I updated Firefox to the latest edition. Coincidentally after that, emails began flooding in..
So, if I had joined this debate yesterday afternoon, I would have had a far different experience to relate 
@Anonymous I wasn't making an issue of closing the thread. I just meant I thought the matter was sort of exhausted. I certainly don't want or intend to stifle debate or prevent anyone expressing their views - not at all. It was my usual loose use of words - can I claim clemency due to advancing age and stupidity please?

I think until movement of our e mail account from yahoo to btmail has started etc perhaps a few people are going to want to update their findings in your thread To perhaps report back if it's as seamless as they say ,and if people are still getting e mail pushed to their mobile devices ok.
I would be grateful if you left this open @Anonymous and was just really advising you as the original op how to request a thread to be closed.

@Anonymous I think its good to keep it open actually. As you see it has grown from what you originally posted
(I for one forgot totally about the transfer of Yahoo and BT mail)
It may well be that is why mine went down for that long period last night
