Can't switch between AT&T email accounts at https://mail.yahoo.com

Hi,

 

There are times I check my mail using https://mail.yahoo.com.

I have two AT&T email accounts.

  • my newest is @att.net and
  • my older one is @ameritech.net

It used to be that I could click my account in the upper right corner, get a listing of my accounts, shown below, and click on another account.  For the longest time it has not worked.  Clicking on the @att.net would go through the motions as if it were switching, then just go back to my @ameritech.net mailbox.

Now only one account shows. When I click on +Add Account it lets me put in my @att.net address, and again it goes through the motions as if it's changing, but it still goes right back to the same inbox.

Searching for help on this, I see refrences to merged accounts.  I don't believe I've ever done anything like that, and besides, I'm not trying to go to a @yahoo.com address, just between two AT&T accounts.

 

Help?

 

  Thanks,
    Frank

And before someone suggests it, no, I don't want to merge these two accounts.  I use them for different things.

That very useful function stopped working sometime last spring.  Some history and clunky workarounds can be found here:

If it stopped working then why in the ... world does the interface still have the option to add an account as if it still worked!!?!?!?
