You can download messages from a BTInternet account to your computer by configuring it in an email client. For this you need the BTInternet email settings, the incoming and outgoing server information, the account username and password. The email servers are required by the client to connect to the server and access the account.
Any email client that uses the Post Office Protocol (POP) can be used for this purpose including the popular Outlook Express (Windows XP), Windows Mail (Vista) or the new Windows Live Mail program on Windows 7.
