Is it really a case of you not wanting to change e-mail addresses? I had an
account with my first ISP for 8 years, they were taken over and their e-mail
addresses initially worked but subsequently the new parent closed them down.

While BT isn't likely to be taken over, there may well come some time in the
future that the e-mail addresses will undergo change. Getting a domain name
registered and slowly moving those mail addresses, letting existing contacts
know the new mail address(es) would guarantee you 'make the change' in some
timely manner, rather than in a rush if there was some change announced at
short notice (eg Virgin Mobile deciding with under 6 weeks notice they'd
no longer support their customer e-mail addresses, at all). "Hanging on"
is fine, but one day will be some problem and getting it done sooner than
later is free advice I'd give anyone in your situation. Peter M.
