can you connect to the internet in general, so see websites in firefox?
generally getting email to work is just like windows, you need to put
the right account settings in. For BT the mail server is mail.btinternet.com
they might not support Linux, but then again they don't support Windows
or Mac either really! They just give you an IP address and connect you
to the internet, and optionally you can use their mail servers over
standard protocols that are older than Windows and work perfectly fine
on Ubuntu.
