can't update outlook

I use Outlook to read my mail.  In November I received an email from AT&T that I needed to update my settings or I will no longer be able to use Outlook.  I clicked on the link provided and launched the AT&T Email Updater.  The updater said:

 

"AT&T Email Updater has not found any email account that require an update.

This could happen if:

  1. All your email accounts already comply with AT&T settings.
  2. You don't have any email client accounts configured (ex. Outlook or Outlook Express)."

Outook no longer works to check my mail.

Have you attempted to manually change the settings?

 

The new settings, found here, indicate the following:

 

  • Incoming (POP3) server: inbound.att.net on port 995
  • Outgoing (SMTP) servier: outbound.att.net on porn 465
  • SSL Required

Thank you for you reply.  When I manually tried to update the settings, I tested it and received the following error messages:

 

Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): Cannot find the e-mail server. Verify the server information in your account properties.

 

Send test e-mail message: Cannot find the e-mail server. Verify the server information in your account properties.
