I use BT email with Thunderbird and frequently have to re-input my BT password. The connection frequently fails or doesn't occur.

I get error messages such as "connection timed out", "cannot connect to BT email"; the connection is often very slow and frequently am asked to reinput my BT email password, sometimes repeatedly every few seconds. If I come out of Thunderbird and then go back in, it sometimes works. I have a very slow broadband connection, max 1.8Mbps. Is this a Thunderbird or BT problem?

Have you tried turning off email scanning in your anti virus product.

Thank you Matt. I will try it and see if the situation improves. Because the problem is intermittent it may take a little while to know.

Last time I checked, btinternet.com email was still being routed through Yahoo. Here are the relevant headers from a message I just sent to my own btinternet.com account (from a different non-bt/yahoo account):

So yes, bt email goes via Critical Path and Yahoo. Just how much more unnecessarily complicated could they make it?

I know this isn't exactly helpful, but Yahoo's service is truly atrocious. I have closed my yahoo.co.uk account now, after serious security breaches, but it too was one of the more problem-afflicted accounts I had.

My own btinternet.com account frequently fails to connect. It may be simply oversubscribed or under-resourced and so doesn't make a timely connection.

Zenos, thanks for your reply. Very interesting and perhaps explains the problem.

The problem has continued, despite turning off email virus checking (in AVG Premium). I have now switched it back on. Perhaps, as Zenos said, it is a problem specifically with BT.
