ATT email address not working
I have what looks like a normal att.net email address, but apparently it was not ever activated. As such, it is only used as a logon to my account. I have tried various ways (change password, setup account option, etc.) to make it an active email account to no avail. So far, representatives have been unable to assist.
Any advice is appreciated.

Frankly, I'd avoid using the AT&T email service completely. It's essentially Yahoo Mail and on a good day the service is quirky and unreliable. On a bad day......well, you'll pull your hair out trying to figure out if the problem is on your end or Yahoo's end. (Hint, it's always on Yahoo's end!)
And of course since it's technically not AT&T's service, good luck getting anyone at AT&T to do something about your issues. Over the years their attitude has always seemed to be that you pay them to provide an Internet connection and they just toss in the email service for free. So they have no real obligation to make sure it works. And since it's really on Yahoo's servers, even if they wanted to help they don't really have the kind of access to do anything meaningful.
Do yourself a favor and just get an Outlook.com or Gmail account.
