bellsouth.net email set-up on outlook through uverse internet
Anybody know how to properly set-up existing bellsouth email sending through outlook when connected to a uverse account. Per AT&T tech support servier 25 has been unlocked yet we are still not able to send out emails through outlook. Recieving emails through outlook not an issue and we can send and receive emails through the att.net site. HELP PLEASE!!!

I did it and it worked wonderfully!

VERY FRUSTRATED! I haven't called because I know they're going to tell me that it's not their issue and it's a microsoft issue but would I like to pay $$$ to talk to an assist line!
very unacceptable!

See if this helps:
Follow the instructions below to set up Windows Live Mail for your AT&T email account.

I have used the exact setting specified and still cannot connect to the server. How ever, it says the test message was sent ok. I'm confused.

Try signing in to the web mail interface using your credentials, then try connecting using your client again.

Sorry, but this hasn't worked for me. I have been a Bellsouth customer for over 27 years. Even when we changed to U-verse, everything was working fine with Outlook 2010.
Then, about 1 1/2 months ago, I would get bounced messages back from random contacts stating that "none of your email accounts was able to send this message to ()". The only workaround was to go on the web-based email for AT&T/Yahoo and send it that way. And, the problem isn't consistent! I can send to a person one day and then the next day it will fail. I contacted AT&T support and they claim it's an outlook 2010 problem. I love when they pass the buck!!!!
I have tried your settings, the recommended settings on AT&T's website (inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net) etc. etc., and it makes no difference.
I'm running Windows 7 professional on a laptop and desktop PC, and Windows 8.1 on another laptop. They ALL have the same issue.
Does anyone have a solution? The frustrating part is that it's completely random. I have no viruses or spyware (have the latest edition of Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus/Internet) and have disabled the Windows firewall so that there are no conflicts with that firewall and the Home Portal (2-Wire - another piece of junk) firewall because I've seen problems when people have multiple firewalls set up.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Scrolling back up through this thread, I found at least three examples of something that could match what you meant by the pronoun "this." Could you be more explicit about what you tried?

I apologize for that! I didn't read the entire thread. I was responding to the original post at the beginning of the thread. I thought when I "relplied" under that posting that it would be linked as such.
I have tried to change my incoming and outgoing servers to att.yahoo.com, incoming.bellsouth.net, with the different port numbers and SSL checks. It is a random problem and has just started in the last 2 months. I am able to send an email to someone that I've known for decades one day, and then the next time I send an email, it will bounce back with: your email to () - it doesn't even give an address - was undeliverable from any of your email accounts.
It is very frustrating. Someone mentioned in the thread that you have to "register" your email with AT&T, but I tried to click on the link and was taken to a Yahoo page with no instructions as such.
I guess that I'll give Connectech a call as I pay for the service and tired of getting responses from AT&T that it's a Microsoft problem.
Thank you anyway.

If you're already paying for ConnectTech, then that's worth a try.
One thing that I've seen several times is that you periodically have to log in through the web interface (perchance to encounter and answer a capcha) so that it believes that a real human being has interest in the e-mail account and allow you to use the client software for some as-yet-undetermined period of time.
