accessing AT&T email
Recently I've had to sign in to get my mail differently. I am now required to sign in to AT&T with my email and password, and then sign in to Yahoo email with my email and password (same as AT&T). I don't know whether my email is thru AT&T or Yahoo. I think originally I had to go thru Yahoo. How do I change things so I can just sign in to AT&T and get rid of the Yahoo part?

What do you see in the upper left of the webmail? Does it just say yahoo or is there a att globe icon in front of the "yahoo". If the globe icon is there then you are in the att/yahoo webmail as opposed to the yahoo webmail.
As for the login problems you might try changing your password to see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't I suggest just calling the Digital Assistance Center (877-273-2728). Apparently the ATTCares folks don't talk to one another and don't realize that problem is not unique to you and is happening to a number of others based on threads posted in these forums.

Hi _xyzzy_,
Thank you for answering my question so quickly. Unfortunately, nothing I did solved my problem. I read everything suggested, and tried everything but changing my password. I was confused by the amount of things to try. I didn't understand some of what the articles referred to, and I didn't change my password because the procedure was so involved. Today I changed my 'start page' to: https://start.att.net, and guess what … it works! I end up at that page when starting the internet, sign in ONCE, and get forwarded right to my mail which is on https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1?.partner=sbc . I don't know if this is right or not, but it's where I want to be and how I want to get there, so I'm good.
Thanks again for your time.

I have to believe that was just a coincidence unless you have something weird going on with your browser. Why? Because if you use http://start.att.net instead of https://start.att.net the page will still come up from the https url as if it is redirected there. At least that is what I see happen when I try this on my Firefox browser (also see it in Chrome too). The same beahvior happens with the http://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1?.partner=sbc url. So why did you bold the att.net portion of the url? What were you using before?

Hi, I guess I don't understand what you're saying … "if you use http://start.att.net instead of https://start.att.net …". I did use https.
I changed it from 'https://att.net'.
I didn't bold anything. When I finished my reply, a message appeared saying an HTML had been deleted because it was not a real one. Then the bold part appeared. I tried to remember what 'HTML' was deleted, and I couldn't remember any other one I had there.

Hi again,
When I tried to send my previous note to you, it didn't go through and the message came up again. It said correct the highlighted area and then mentioned the HTML part I mentioned in my prior reply. There wasn't any 'highlighted area' so I just hit reply again and that time it was a 'Success'.
Bizarre to say the least.
