Anyone using a BT email address for Flickr?

[Chr1stof]

I use my *@btinternet.com address to log into Flickr. I have it POPd so I can recieve my flickr emails to Outlook. This has been working fine for ages but for some reason for the last two days Outlook cannot retrieve the mails.
I can log in and access emails fine via the normal yahoomail web log in though.
I have checked all the server settings etc to no avail.
Last time I came across this was when Orange stopped email clients accessing their emails forcing users to login via the webpage (and view adverts)

Anyone else getting this issue?

I've changed my Flickr email address so that it uses my gmail account (although the log-in is still my BT one).
For all my BT emails I use POP on Outlook and I haven't had any problems recently (as of yesterday when I last checked).

want to keep using my BT one thogh as I get a free upgrade to Pro as long as I log in using it

I'm using btinternet.com with flickr and have it POPd to OSX's Mail and haven't had any trouble.

I think it may be related to my Avast, still checking into it

I use my BT address as my login so that I get the pro account, but under Flickr preferences I've changed the email address so that all Flickr emails go to my gmail account instead of my BT address (which I don't use as much).

Have you found the source of your problem?

Kind of- been looking into this. If I turn off my Avast virus scanning the emails are coming through to Outlook. I think it is down to a change BT/Yahoo have made though, something to do with SSL.
As said, the workaround is to forward my @btinternet mail to my normal email but I would be interested to know how to fix it properly.
