Yes, you will lose your PN e-mail addresses.
You can use any e-mail supplier (eg Google) you want but you will lose all historical e-mails if held on PN servers.

@Astridge yes, you will lose your Plusnet email address as soon as the transfer happens. You would have been advised of that in the 'sorry you are leaving' notification.
ICBW but I don't believe that BT offers email to new customers anymore, like many ISPs.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Yes, the account will be deleted. Be aware that if you have it set to IMAP all sent and received emails will be automatically deleted.
You will find advice on how to download and save these on your own device on the email board.

I assume you asked them to do this, as they shouldn't without your express request.
To answer the email question - when you do get moved, your PN email will cease.

I don't know if this is possible but if it's a major problem you could try phoning PN and canceling the migration until you get your e-mail sorted out.

If you exclusively use web mail then I fear that your address book will also disappear.
Can I ask why you are moving?

@Astridge That 'advisor' needs fully retraining - It has been confirmed by a senior PN staff member that this is NOT happening.

@Astridge for information , I've escalated this as it shouldn't have happened. Providing you did not wish to change products , you should have been offered a renewal of your contract with Plusnet.
Yes, if you wished to change products and keep a phone service, then BT/EE would be the only offered option unless you were happy to source your own VOIP supplier for the phone service.

@Astridge yes, that's exactly what you should have been offered in the first place and not been pressured to move to BT/EE!

Glad to hear things have been sorted.
While you'll retain your landline for now PSTN is being withdrawn by the end of 2025. PN are not offering a digital VOIP service so at some point they will pull the plug on the landline.
You might want to give some thought to e-mail as well in case you ever lose PN addresses.
