Why would my AT&T email account be suspended?
I have had an ATT email account for over 20 years. For some time, the account has been free. On 7/10/18 I received a message that the account had been suspended. I was told (in the message) that I could reinstate it by calling an AT&T support number. When I did, they said they couldn't help me at that number since it was support for Uverse, and they connected me to another number. This happened six times until I was connected back to the Uverse support number.
Any idea why my account was suspended? It was not from being inactive as I used it every day. And it was not from an unpaid bill as it was free.
I don't have any other ATT services.
I originally got the email account 20+ years ago when I had ATT dial-up. That account was associated with my land-line home phone. I recently dropped the land-line home phone. Could that be the problem? If yes, how can I reactive the email account?
Thank you for any help you can provide!!

This has been solved! My email account was set to a free account some years ago, and I have no other AT&T services. About 3 months ago a billing server at AT&T set my email account back to a paid account and started trying to send me bills. Since there was no billing information associated with the account, the bills went nowhere. After three months of "unpaid bills" (that were never sent), the server suspended my account. Ariel, an AT&T Community Specialist, contacted me today (7/172018) and gave me a number to call to start the correction. After a few false starts, it was decided that since my email had been set up back in the dial-up days, I should talk to someone in dial-up billing. When I was routed there, a support person found the problem, switched my account back to "free" and all is fixed. Thanks Ariel!
