BT doesn't support Outlook - and I cannot get all the settings right. When I
test the account settings (there's a wizard in BT Yahoo to set it up) I get a
confirmation email - so that's good. But the incoming email does not land in
Outlook. I currently have the LAN connection box checked which doesn't seem
right. If I compose an email in Outlook, it is sent OK, likewise if I do that
through bt.yahoo.com - just that every time Outlook (POP3 etc) doesn't
capture it.

Try playing with your authentication settings on the accounts tab.

Tools /Email accounts / View or change

POP 3 settings:

Incoming mail server POP3 and outgoing SMTP are both mail.btinternet.com

More settings / Outgoing server

My outgoing server SMTP requires authentication check yes

More settings / Advanced

Incoming server POP3 port 110
Outgoing server SMTP port 25

How, then, do you know it was sent?

Are you certain your POP server settings are correct?
