whats worrying me is that for the last ten years my @btinternet.com account has survived by being piggybacked onto the Yahoo system. I closed my BT dialup internet account many years ago, but the mail account persisted. With this change I can forsee it vanishing down the plughole. Annoying if it happens - I've had the e-mail address since around 1990 and losing it will be a real PITA
