0.0 SBC Yahoo
Do I need to download any software? Anything new being offered? What is it all about? Answers to these and many other questions about the Yahoo migration can be found in this SBC Yahoo FAQ.  got feedback?I now signed up for comcast e-mail. How do I retrieve my former At&T Yahoo e-mail? 2009-04-28 15:24:41 There is no migration as such for moving from at&t email to comcast. Your AT&T email should be available for a period of time however this period may be days to months.. You should still be able to log into att.yahoo.com to view your email, once you can't log in then you're done with T email... I'd suggest using gmail for your email as it's free and not tied to any specific broadband provider plus it has a good spam filter 2009-04-28 19:46:44 (MrFixitCT by Flippant Or, do it manually using the following as the PPPoE login Username: sbcyahooreg@sbcglobal.net Password: sbcyahooreg And go to the following URL to complete registration http://helpme.att.net/register If you are an existing customer, that is NOT the address you should use to migrate. See this FAQ for instructions on how to migrate. New information as of May 2007: For help registering with Vista: »att.net/vista If an att.net domain is desired for userid/email register here: »helpme.att.net/register
got feedback?I purchased ATT Wireless Router with DSL Modem, but it did not contain a CD. I have managed to register existing computer, but am unable to register Blue Tooth Lap Top. Should I use the original CD sent to me when I signed up for ATT DSL? 2010-04-05 14:04:16 by A21 For all other SBC regions: Go to http://promo.sbcglobal.net/sbcyahoodsl/ and click the Upgrade Now button. See this FAQ for more information on merging a Yahoo ID during this process. If you have sub-accounts, you'll want to migrate them too. Log into My Account. Your sub-accounts may be listed along with an Upgrade Sub-Acct link. This link will take you through a process similar to the one for your primary account (but shorter, as there's no billing information involved). If this doesn't work, go to http://sbc.yahoo.com and log in using each sub-account's address and password and you'll be taken through the migration process. In either case, this only needs to be done once per sub-account. The migration process will automatically change the primary account's Outlook Express and/or Netscape email settings (for Windows), but settings may need to be changed manually for Mac, subaccounts, or alternate mail applications. See a full list of the appropriate mail server settings.
got feedback?by A21 With that in mind, if any of the following features interest you, you may want to consider the account migration, which does not require installing any software and will not require you to change your email address(es).
After upgrading, you have the option to download a custom browser for Windows which includes a firewall and parental controls. You can also place a request for a CD to be mailed to you in early 2003, which has the custom browser and a connection manager (helps troubleshoot problems) for both Windows and Mac.
got feedback?by A21 Otherwise go to http://ameritech.net http://php2.snet.net http://pages.sbcglobal.net as appropriate, according to your email address and activate your personal home page if you aren't using it already. Put some sort of a placeholder file there to make sure your web space isn't considered empty or inactive.
got feedback?by A21 If you do not merge your existing Yahoo ID, you can access the expanded Mail, Briefcase, and Photos storage by using your SBC ID to log into Yahoo, but these services will not be combined with your existing Yahoo mail account and briefcase. Please note: If you map your existing Yahoo! account to your SBC Yahoo! account and then cancel your SBC Yahoo! service in the future, there will be a maintenance fee to retain your existing Yahoo! ID. You will be charged a maintenance fee of $9.95 per month to retain your existing Yahoo! ID and preserve your mail, addresses, calendar items, and personalized services. If you cancel your SBC Yahoo! service and do not wish to pay the maintenance fee, your data will be deleted or you may transfer some of your existing data to a new Yahoo! account with a different Yahoo ID. If you decide to transfer your personal settings to a new Yahoo! ID, Yahoo! will give you step by step instructions automatically. Also be aware that you can only merge a Yahoo ID while registering/migrating your primary account, or creating/migrating a subaccount. You can't change your mind or unmerge, so choose carefully. Go here for merge information: help.yahoo.com/help/us/sbc/install/... If you choose to merge: You can sign onto Yahoo using your full SBC email address, or the Yahoo ID you merged. The merge process will set the combined account's password to your existing SBC password, but you can change it at any time afterwards.
got feedback?Keep in mind...
4. If I merge my Yahoo! ID now and decide to un-merge my email accounts later, what will happen?
A. If you map your existing Yahoo! account to your SBC Yahoo! account and decide later to cancel your SBC Yahoo! service, there will be a maintenance fee to retain your existing Yahoo! ID and email account. You will also be able to keep your existing SBC Yahoo! email account(s).
You will be charged $9.95 per month to retain your existing Yahoo! ID and preserve your email, addresses, calendar items, and personalized services. If you cancel your SBC Yahoo! service and do not wish to pay the maintenance fee, your data will be deleted or you may transfer some of your existing data to a new Yahoo! account with a different Yahoo! ID.
If you decide to transfer your personal settings to a new Yahoo! ID, Yahoo! will give you step by step instructions automatically.
2008-04-02 10:57:40 This seems out of date
http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=6756
Now says: "Please note: If you map your existing Yahoo! account to your AT&T account, in the future, you can continue to use your Yahoo! ID even if you decide to cancel your AT&T service."
In the past I had canceled my SBCglobal account and was able to retain my yahoo account. Though there were some bugs. I was kicked out of 360 (a free service) for awhile. I just lost the extras like pop access and launch cast, etc.
-Andrew 2009-02-12 09:17:46 by Flippant The downloadable software, available after finishing migration, includes the custom Yahoo browser with parental controls and firewall. The current SBC Yahoo DSL CD, included in the new user installation kit, is only for new setups. Migrating users can use the downloadable software or wait until early 2003 for the migration CD, which will include the connection manager. The current CD includes the custom Yahoo browser, the connection manager and diagnostics, parental controls, instant messenger, drivers for Dlink 530TX and Dlink DFE-680TXD (PCMCIA), EnterNet 300, IE 5.5 and 6, Winsock and DUN updates for 95, Acrobat Reader, Netscape, QuickTime, Shockwave, and Flash. If you have that CD and want to install parts of it manually, instead of letting the installer load all of it, see the CD paths.
got feedback?by MrFixitCT There are no drivers on this CD for the Kingston NIC or for any of the USB modems. Dlink 530TX+ Driver Paths
Dlink DFE-680TXD Driver Paths (Old PCMCIA Card)
Dlink DFE-690TXD Driver Paths
Windows Cabs (if user does not have the original windows CD-ROM)
Enternet 300 Install/Uninstall (Not used in Windows XP!)
Misc Setup Files
Yahoo Related Files
If you install any of the above Yahoo-related components (in the list above), you must also run, for the component to work correctly: X:\Setup\Yahoo\dllupdate.exe Not necessary if you only installed non-Yahoo stuff such as Enternet or drivers.
got feedback?by stltech The workaround is to "downgrade" Flash to 5.x. Follow these instructions:
•A window pops up warning that you selected exit and the installation will not be properly setup. Click EXIT. •Open "Windows Explorer". •Navigate to the CD-Rom drive and go to the SETUP\Flash folder. •Click on the file flash.exe. •A window will pop up and ask if you want to install Flash 5 Active X control. Select Yes and after the Installation is complete select ok at the prompt. You should be able to run the SBC Yahoo DSL CD with no problems after this. SBC is aware of this problem and is already working on updating ad distributing new CDs. http://support.sbcglobal.net/dsl/5140.shtml

got feedback?by Flippant Follow these steps in order. Click cancel on any reboot requirements as necessary. Note: This completely removes the installed software including that required to connect on a non-WindowsXP system (Enternet300). If you have a non-XP system and still want to connect via this computer (no router) then you need to leave Enternet300 of another PPPoE client on the system. Remove these programs in any order: SBC Yahoo! Internet Mail SBC Yahoo! Messenger SBC Yahoo! Parental Controls Yahoo! Companion Yahoo! Login Yahoo! Messenger Explorer Bar Remove SBC Yahoo! Dial (remove only) Remove SBC Yahoo! DSL Utilities Remove SBC Yahoo! DSL Remove SBC Connection Manager (This step should also uninstall the BroadJump CorrectConnect Engine. Give it a bit then hit F5 to refresh this window to ensure it goes away.) Remove EnterNet 300. (A reboot will be required.) see note above The last step is to remove BroadJump Client foundation XP Uninstalls Follow these steps in order. Click cancel on any reboot requirements as necessary. Remove these programs in any order: SBC Yahoo! DSL Utilities SBC Yahoo! Internet Mail SBC Yahoo! Messenger SBC Yahoo! Parental Controls Yahoo! Companion Yahoo! Login Yahoo!

got feedback?by CCCMTech If not on SBC Yahoo (existing customers pre-September 2002 who have not migrated) keep using the old settings. Use the servers corresponding to your email address:
User ID requires domain (for both SMTP and POP) - that means use your full address name@domain.net for POP user ID. If using Netscape, use name%domain.net instead. Outgoing mail with these servers requires SMTP authentication. For more detailed instructions on all of the above, see: http://support.sbcglobal.net/email/

got feedback?by Flippant A list of dialup access phone numbers can be found here: sbcyahoo.prodigy.net/openPhone got feedback?by Flippant Yahoo has this opt-out page...Go to mail ->Mail Options -> Account Information (on left) -> it will ask for your password ->Member Information (link on bottom) Click here to edit your marketing preferences. -> Make sure you check 'NO' in all... If I remember right when you merged you should/could have done this...If not, do it now...Hope this helps... got feedback?Only about 12% of my email is not spam and yet I have nothing checked on marketing favorites. 2011-09-05 23:32:22 by kcazzie got feedback?by CCCMTech 1. At the top of the mail click on the "Not Spam" button. 2. Near the top-right click on Mail Options. 3. Under the Spam column click on Filters. 4. Click the Add button to add a new filter. 5. In "Filter Name" give the filter a name (usually just the person's e-mail address.) 6. In "From header:" type in the valid e-mail address. 7. In "Move the message to:" select Inbox. Now all of the e-mail from that person will go directly to the Inbox. Your account can contain up to 15 filters at one time.
got feedback?The link 2008-03-30 23:01:25 by Maxo 1.) Proceed with ordering the dry loop dsl number (leaving everything else intact). 2.) When the dry loop is installed, arrange your inside wiring (IW) to where your dry loop service is coming in at, confirm sync at your nid/sni/gray test jack. 3.) Ensure you have sync and can connect. Make sure your current DSL jack in your home has your new service working. 4.) With the old line, go ahead and initiate a disconnect for your old DSL line. Since you moved to your naked dsl circuit already, this should be no impact to you. 5.) When your old dsl line is disconnected, then go to the registration site and re-register your dsl on your dry loop/naked dsl circuit. 6.) Then port your phone number to whatever cell service you want. From this thread: »Convert to dry loop and port land # to other cell carrier???
