Are you an AT&T/Yahoo DSL user having trouble sending e-mail? Do you receive error message that states that the user password was rejected or that the e-mail address needs to be verified? It’s not your fault!
Along with many other ISPs, AT&T implemented increased security settings by changing the name of its servers. As a result, you need to update the settings in your e-mail client to reflect these changes. How to setup your account….
Fix:
- If your POP server and SMTP server names include “sbcglobal,” substitute “att” instead. For example, change “smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com” to “smtp.att.yahoo.com.”
- Do not change the “sbcglobal” term in your e-mail address (EMAIL)
- Enable SSL for your POP server and select to override the default POP port with port 995.
- Enable SSL for your SMTP server and select to override the default SMTP port with port 465.
This should fix your problem. If not, then contact AT&T
