I am a long time holder of e-mail account with sbcglobal.net. Currently I cannot find access to anyone help desk that can assist me. My problem is that I am receiving e-mail with no difficulty on my I phone but cannot receive mail on my MacBookPro. I can send mail with no difficulty.

Does anyone know how I can get help?

I'm moving this thread to the Email forum.

What email client are you using on the laptop? 

Are you using a Secure Mail Key?

Have you tried these server settings in place of the "official" AT&T servers?

imap.mail.yahoo.com

smtp.mail.yahoo.com

No problem.  I wish I had a Mac to test with because it's not clear just from searching online which (if any) versions of Mail on MacOS support OAuth2.

So use the link I provided in my first comment and create a Secure Mail Key and use that in the places where Mail asks for a password.

I never heard of a secure key. Do I need to have one.

Also when I go to Mail <preferences< select my account and go to account settings I am not offered the usual fields that shoe inbound server and outbound server.

I can't answer your question until you answer mine.  😁

Which email client do you use on the laptop?
