inbound.att.net is not responding (renewed)

The ATT Moderator apparently, despite numerous requests, refuses to remove the "Solved" flag on the prior 8-page, 108-message thread...

 

inbound.att.net is not responding

https://forums.att.com/t5/AT-T-Internet-Email-Security/inbound-att-net-is-not-responding/td-p/5392045

 

Thus, this thread is created to reopen this important issue as the problem is still recurring.  Oftentimes "inbound.att.net" is not responding thereby making email retrieval via client impossible.

>>  Does it only affect those with legacy email addresses (@bellsouth.net)

 

Ken, Now, that is an excellent question.  My affected addresses are @swbell.net.

 

I don't know how to follow up on this given AT&T's disregard for customers on this issue.

There must be only a small number of people having this issue or AT&T would have to address it.  I went for months trying to determine why my email would quit working and then start back on its own without me doing anything.  Then I stumbled onto this list and found that others were having the same problem.  There must be a common denominator with those who are having this problem.  Mine stopped working again this morning but for only a few minutes this time.

No, there are a lot of people experiencing the problem. Quite a few
have posted here but most people don't access (or even know about) this
forum.

Still having the issue, I seems like it is worse on the weekends finally got her to log in the web mail and after a while the emails started downloading again. May be worse on weekends because of usage.

This problem is becoming less intermittent -- read: occurs almost every day lately.

To All:

 

Interesting.  I have two swbell.net email accounts and one of them is working fine this morning and the other one is failing due to the problem discussed in this thread.

Same problem here.  The problem is intermittent and apparently selective as one of my two accounts is working, the other not.  Sad.

Yes, it is amazing that AT&T is continuing for a long time to neglect
solving this serious detriment to our effective processing.

The problem is still occurring.

This most-annoying problem has still not been solved by AT&T and is recurring on a regular basis.  As a 40+ year customer of AT&T (land line, cell phone, uverse, equipment, etc.), I must say this ongoing problem really reflects poorly on the service offered by AT&T.
