Password Issues

Resetting your password is one of the fastest ways to get back into your account. 

Sign-In Update/ Change

If you attempted to sign into your account via Yahoo and you were redirected to AT&T E-mail login page, this is normal. If you are having trouble signing in, try:

• Clearing the cache and cookies on your browser.

• Testing with a different browser.

If you are still having issues with loading the login page, go to att.net and click on the mail icon at the top right.

WebMail and Features Troubleshooting

• Clear Cache and Cookies - The most common fix

• Update Your Browser - many features are only compatible with the latest browser and we recommend updating it

• Test signing in to your webmail using another browser

• Disable browser tools or add-ons - varies by device and browser

• Disable your firewall - varies by device and browser

• Enable Adobe Flash Player - install flash player now

• Make sure Java is up-to-date - https://www.java.com/en/download/

Have the right browser

Internet Explorer and/ or a Microsoft Edge browser older than 15.x, you will need to upgrade your browser to a supported browser. If you’re using FireFox, Chrome, and/or a Mac-based browser, just sit back, and relax.

Can you keep your email?

In short, yes you can! Our Free Email FAQs page has more information and things you need to know. Please check out the terms and conditions page for more information. 

Email Not Going Where It Is Supposed To?

• Is Your Email Going Into Spam? Trash? Another Folder? - check the rules in webmail to make sure nothing is set up to forward

• Hacked Email - If your email account was compromised, rules may have been set up without your knowledge

• 3rd Party Browsers - If you are using a 3rd party mailbox like Outlook, disable it to make sure that mail box is not causing the issues

Note: Some 3rd party mail apps have been known to cause issues and send mail into trash. We highly recommend discontinuing the use of the app and using the Yahoo Mail App.

3rd Party Mailbox - (Outlook, Apple Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird)

You may need to update your client to work with Oauth. You will find step-by-step solutions in our Client Setup Page. You'll find solutions below for generic client issues:

• Test using webmail - If you are able to sign in to your email via the web, the issue points to the app or mailbox you are using.

• Mailboxes - we recommend using the latest version. Updates and changes may prevent it from working properly. 

• Rebuild Mailbox profile - In some instances, rebuilding the profile fixes some issues. You may lose email doing this

• Change your settings from POP to IMAP 

• Test using webmail. If do not experience issues, it could be related to the 3rd party app

• Client issues - If you are using POP, you must now use IMAP. There was a recent change, this article will explain further

• AT&T does not officially support or troubleshoot mailboxes/ clients like Outlook

Note: For those of you using Evolution and having issues sending email, go into setting and find Disable Settings For All POP3 Extensions and select it.

Having trouble with Outlook, check out this thread from one of our community members. 

POP Vs IMAP Settings

Due to maintenance to upgrade the legacy IMAP host to a modernized IMAP infrastructure, some customers may get an SSL Certificate mismatch error within their e-mail client or mobile device

• Accept the mismatch to update the SSL certificate for the e-mail to work as normal.

• If there is no option to accept the certificate, remove the e-mail account and set it up again.

• For older Android devices without auto-setup change the following settings. 

Incoming Mail Server (IMAP)

• Server - imap.mail.att.net

• Port - 993

• Requires SSL – Yes

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)

• Server - smtp.mail.att.net

• Port - 465 or 587

• Requires SSL - Yes

• Requires authentication - Yes

• Your sign in info:

E-mail address - Your full e-mail address (name@domain.com)

Password - Your account's password

Requires authentication - Yes

Spellcheck 

The spellcheck feature is no longer supported via webmail and now defaults to the browser spell check option.
