Creating additional email addresses

Migrated all my BT products to EE a couple of years or so ago but kept our original emails & even added a new one through My BT last September. I Previously posted "Cant create additional email addresses" (Apple ID won't accept my current one) but can't find the post & so created this one. Forum advised that I should have migrated my BT email addresses after I switched to EE & to ring BT on 0330 1234 150. I had a longish conversation with advisor who advised that my email addresses were in fact migrated & 3 still valid. The 2 main ones (my wife & I) still work but the spare one created last September doesn't. I can no longer access any of these addresses or add new ones through the My BT website which also now shows my EE account number, not my original BT one; it also states that "we're sorry, but you are not having EE products", whatever that's supposed to mean! BT advisor said that I can now only access/change/add emails on the EE website, which sort of made sense, but having looked in EE, there only seems to be an option to change my email address which I obviously don't want to do as I need to retain these & add a new one for an Apple ID. The "My BT website" was working fine up until Sept 25 when I added the additional, spare BT address but, when I try to log on with it, it comes back as invalid. The changes EE/BT seem to have made to access through the legacy "My BT" seems to have left things in a bit of a mess & I'm getting rather confused with it all, am I going to have to ring BT back or do I speak to EE? Or, if I'm misunderstanding things or not looking in the right place on the EE website, can anyone offer me an easy/less stressful way to resolve this?

@karis6197 BT has TWO versions of the e-mail system think it's like Basic and Premium and the later is a paid monthly option that you have to take when you leave the BT fold e-mail wise, the BT Forum is the place to look, not on the EE side.

Except you don't when you move from BT to EE for BB, as did the OP. You retain your Standard BT email if you were already on it.
