BT has today announced the transfer of millions of its broadband customers email accounts to a new BT Mail service in tandem with a relaunch of BT.com.
The new look website will combine breaking news and email with account and billing information from June, all of which can be accessed from a single unified log-in.
This heralds the demise of BT Yahoo! which will switch over to the new look BT.com.
Nick Wong, director of online for BT’s Consumer division, said: “The new BT.com has been developed to make things easier and more engaging for our customers. They will only have to log in to this single site for all their requirements.
“The new BT.com will feature breaking and exclusive news and features from a dedicated team of journalists at the Press Association covering areas such as news, entertainment and lifestyle. With BTSport.com also launching in the summer, we’ll bring customers exclusive live sports action as well.
“We will be switching customers’ email over to BT Mail, which will include the features and functions they expect from a modern email service. It will also feature in-built anti-virus and anti-spam solutions. We will be keeping our customers fully informed about what changes to expect and when they will be able to enjoy the new services.”
