i have followed this page

The BT page you link to contains instructions for both IMAP and POP3. Which one did you try? Did you trry both? One thing I would do is try the settings without SSL, using the standard ports for POP3/IMAP/SMTP. Of course a secure connection is desired, but when looking for possible errors, removing this additional layer of complexity can be a good start.

I've run into a similar problem with another provider - Back then, simply removing the failing account, rebooting and setting it up again with the same information fixed it here. Hope it helps you too, worth a try at least :)
