Error 553 on sending email

Having a problem sending an email from your PC? If you’re seeing "Error 553" when you send, could it be that your email account is set to get your emails with a non-BT email address?

In 2008, BT added some extra security to their email sending. If your outgoing email address is different from your Btinternet.com email address, you need to register non-BT email addresses, so that they know they’re legit.

To register your non-BT email address:

  • Go to http://bt.yahoo.com/webmail and sign in with your BTinternet address.
  • Go to Yahoo! Mail, select Options (on the right)
  • Select "Mail options", "Accounts", "Add or edit"
  • Add an account for your non-BT email address.
CD of BT Yahoo software

We’ve heard from a number of site visitors saying that they have a problem with the "order your CD" button on the BT Yahoo site. Here are some notes on this:

  • First off, the FileSaveAs website is not part of BT – so please don’t ask us to send you a disk, or forward on your personal details. We can’t help with CDs.
  • New or existing customers can download the BT Internet software, so you don’t need a CD – pick PAYG or Anytime from register.btinternet.com and download the software you need
  • Try giving BT a call to request a CD – The number we have for BT Yahoo dial-up is 0800 633 5335. We understand that the number for a Broadband CD is 0800 085 7343. If you know a better number for BT Yahoo Customer Services, please let us know.
Closing
account

If you’re
looking to close your account, call the Customer Relation Team on
0800 085 2819 to arrange this. If it’s a Pay-as-you-go account, you
don’t need to cancel (as you’re not paying anything anyway), but if
you wish to cancel, the number is 0800 633 5335.
