inbound.att.net is not responding (renewed)
The ATT Moderator apparently, despite numerous requests, refuses to remove the "Solved" flag on the prior 8-page, 108-message thread...
inbound.att.net is not responding
Thus, this thread is created to reopen this important issue as the problem is still recurring. Oftentimes "inbound.att.net" is not responding thereby making email retrieval via client impossible.

Sorry I struck a nerve with you. I had no idea you were anything other than a user like the rest of us.
My point was and is that the problem still exists.
Your interaction and dialogue relative to all of this have been (and are) appreciated.

Yup, a user just like you. You might want to take a quick glace at the Community How-To -> Community Basics.

The "Solved" flag reportedly was set by AT&T so I don't see how you can change it.

I can, but I have only rarely have ever done it (maybe less than 5 times) and never to a post done by an att representative so I am not going to start now.

I Just found the renewed thread, I posted to the older solved thread:
The problem is still occurring on my wife's POP3 email ,(windows 7,Seamonky email)I can log on to her web email but every time she tries to get her mail on her computer it says "server error try later" she only knows how to get her POP3 email. Has it been changed to Imap or something? I have a friend down the road and he just got ATT DSL windows 7 ,Windows live mail POP3 and is having the same problem. I have had the sbcglobal.net email addresses for about 10 years, My wife never had any problems until this year. She is mad at me and expects me to fix it in a few min. I have checked and re checked everything. We were DSL users until last year and switched to spectrum cable and I was told we could keep our address's since we were in good standing when we canceled our service. My wife insists on using POP 3 and it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I don't have any problem logging into her or my web mail , just her pop3, I extended the time out longer and it didn't help. I thought I found something by logging into her web mail her pop3 started working but it must have been a fluke. I tried to log into ATT. com to reset her email and now my ID and password don't work any more. Yahoo tells you to go to ATT. com to reset it. I will welcome any solution.

I check for new threads and thread updates daily and I think I saw some updates in that thread this morning.

I have been having the same problem for months. I have a @bellsouthnet address. No help from AT&T. I wasn't going to the paid support site to pay for someone else to tell me it's my Thunderbird. I have a Nook and I get the same connection error and it doesn't use Thunderbird.
Does anyone know if there are any diagnostic tools available that could help narrow down the issue? I have been scouring the net but have not found anything that would help.

Ken, the problem surely lies with AT&T and only AT&T can investigate and provide a remedy. It's probably a skitzy server.

It's obvious that AT&T doesn't care. This has been going on for months and I have noticed it has gotten worse for me in the last several weeks. Does it only affect those with legacy email addresses (@bellsouth.net) or does it affect everyone?
