inbound.att.net is not responding
I have a ATT/Yahoo email address. The inbound.att.net server is not responding. I have tried pinging it with 3rd party connection sites (is it down and web site down) neither can connect to it. Is it down says that it may be down for a week. Any one know what the problem might be.
Thanks
Pete

Here's how I finally solved my problem:
I was downloading my mail, about 350 messages. Had 70 messages left ... and Thunderbird just stopped. Everytime I'd hit download, I'd get these messages:
downloading 1 of xxx
No messages to download
and it would quit.
Every few hours I'd try again, message count would go up, but no messages were forthcoming.
I could get to the mail by web, but Firefox and their new format clashes and I get "an error has occurred" about the 3rd screen of messages.
Someone suggested the error was on the Thunderbird side, and I'd need to create a new account. Tried that. It would down load the first message, then choke and die. Just like before. Laboring under the assumption that the status of the email was somehow messed up, I went to the web. searched for the email (since I couldn't scroll), and deleted the offending email from the web.
BINGO!
All messages came pouring it, and were dutifully removed from the server.

How did you recognize which email was the problem?

I think I mentioned, I had to set up a new profile under Thudnerbird, and try to download my mail. It would pull one email then stop. I'd try again, and it would pull the same email and stop. After it pulled the same email 5 times, I said, "Ok, let's see what happens when we get rid of this email."
I deleted it by finding it with the search function (since Yahoo was crapping out on scroll).
Told the original profile to pull email, and bada-bing! They started flowing in like water.

I seldom get the 'inbound.att.net is not responding' msg now. Thunderbird connects but now I get the message 'connection to inbound.att.net was reset' almost immediately. I then have to exit TB and restart it and get the same msg. Sometimes after restarting several times the password handshake works and I get my email. Other times I give up and come back later.

problem. Despite the great inconvenience to users, somewhat offsetting
this is that the problem is only intermittent.

lately unable to send emails from Outlook express. I am using a secure mail key. Getting emails but unable to send any out.
error: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'AT&T', Server: 'outbound.att.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
Using ports 995 (in) and 465 (out) with SSL
What is going on ATT ?
