BT broadband email address transfer to EE

I placed an order today to move from BT broadband to EE broadband and I am worried I will loose access to three btinternet email addresses I have or will be reduced to just web access. Is this the case or can these email addresses be kept active and accessible via email clients such as mail on Apple devices?

@PaulClement  There is a lot of posts on the BT community about keeping BT email and BT Cloud when you transfer broadband. This is one of the https://community.bt.com/t5/Bills-Packages/BT-to-EE/m-p/2327400#M162013 The answer is yes you will keep your BT emails but you administer them them through your BTID.

Thank you that’s reassuring 

This may well be the case, but when we first set up our email addresses 20+ years ago, no-one knew how things would evolve (phone apps etc) and that our email addresses would become our User IDs for almost every account we ever opened.  Most websites let you change your contact email address but it is almost impossible to change your User ID online.  Have you tried changing your email address for 100 or more accounts, many of which you cannot remember setting up?  Your answer may be true but it is rather trite and does not help with the current BT/EE migration problem.  I have four family email addresses on my BT account and we all use our phones to access them.  Do not want to be forced to use the website - this is a backward step.  I will not be migrating until they sort this out.
