My ATT email settings have changed.
« on: November 26, 2013, 07:34:53 AM »
I live in northern California in a suburban area north of Sacramento.
Recently the ATT email settings have changed here. I was wondering if others have also noticed this.
Examples:
POP3 was inbound.att.net and now is pop.att.yahoo.com
SMTP was outbound.att.net and now is smtp.att.yahoo.com

SSL is still required. Authentication is still the actual ATT email address.

These settings were given by voice from an automated system. The web site does not have this information. Very confusing.
Do you also have ATT DSL service? Do you use  these POP and SMTP settings?

This reminds me of the migration from old to new when Adelphia switched to Comcast. Some were still on the old Adelphia settings while others were on the new Comcast e-mail settings.

While AT&T to my knowledge has not gone through a major restructuring, they may be performing a server hardware migration from old to new and to make the old hardware work along side the new its best to have different settings and then move controlled groups of customers over to the new servers at a time until all are eventually migrated over.
