I just returned to U-Verse after two years with Comcast. Why? Frankly, I was ticked off by the latest $25 increase in my monthly bill due to my "promotional period expiring."
So, anyway, we have pretty much been using gmail accounts for all of our important stuff, specifically because I can change internet providers at will without having to worry about handing out new email addresses to everyone. Nevertheless, I would like to setup my new att.net email account in Outlook and am encountering problems.
Let's start with this quote which can be found on many ATT.NET tech support pages (this one, for example http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB401570&cv=804#fbid=58yXAaBd1sd ):
quote:If you created a free att.net email address after June 11th, 2011 you will not be able to use an email client to access your email. Retrieve your email at http://www.att.net.
Does that apply to me? I don't exactly think of my email address as "free" since I am paying big bucks for a TV+Internet bundle, however, while I can manage to send mail using Outlook, I cannot get it to receive mail with an IMAP connection (didn't even try POP3).
I've tried incoming server inbound.att.net using both ports 993 and 995 (SSL) without success.
