How do I configure my email client for Bellsouth email?

Important Update!
All legacy BellSouth customers have been migrated to the new AT&T/Yahoo platform and should use the Email Configuration Site.

The servers for all legacy BellSouth customers are:
Incoming (POP): pop.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing (SMTP): smtp.att.yahoo.com (requires authentication)
Incoming mail server type: POP3
Incoming/Outgoing User Name: Full AT&T email address, including domain (e.g. yourname@bellsouth.net)
Incoming mail port #: 995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port # 465, secure connection (SSL) checked

Note: Your email password can/may be different from your standard FastAccess login password. Also, unlike having to log into FastAccess, your POP email log in does not require "@bellsouth.net" after the username. To change your email password check here.

If you experience any problems with your email, check your email client to verify that you are not using the old address format.

Thanks again. It seems every time I reinstall windows and have to set up my email again, this is the page I find to remind me how to do it. Works the first time every time. Thanks a bunch!

I did a Yahoo search to find out this info - didn't even know exactly what I was looking for and this page came up with everything I needed. I did it - I now have email on my new cell phone!!! Thank you for making this info so easy.

THANKS! This works! (9/29/2011) Hopefully they won't change it again for a while.

In the "note" it says the email login does NOT require the @bellsouth.net after the username. In the section right above that, it shows in parenthesis that it IS required. Which is it?

if this Outgoing mail port # 465, doesn't work then try Port # 25 instead...
