Re: AT&T email--Yahoo vs. Worldnet
said by d_l  :To keep your @att.net accounts on the Worldnet-operated servers, you would have to pay $6/mo for the Bring-Your-Own-Access plan that they offer (or maybe only used to offer as I haven't checked recently if it is still available). I use that plan and the Worldnet servers are problem free compared to the Yahoo servers. I've seen maybe one brief outage in 5 years. The other advantage of paying for that BYOA plan is you can still set up 25 MB personal web pages for each email account If you have AT&T Yahoo you don't have to pay anything to keep your @att.net e-mail accounts.
And you don't have to dial in the Worldnet servers to retrieve your @att.net e-mail. You can do it from your AT&T Yahoo account just fine.

To keep your @att.net accounts on the Worldnet-operated servers ...
If someone had moved their @att.net account as suggested by that FAQ, they wouldn't have been able to get their mail this past 10 days off the Yahoo-operated servers! The whole point of my statement is that you DON'T want to move from a reliable, secure, email service to a dysfunctional email provider, Yahoo! |

You can do it from your AT&T Yahoo account just fine. If you don't want Yahoo! servers to handle your email, you don't want 'at&t Yahoo' HSI'. Or, for AT&T Worldnet users, you use 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' for your DSL connection, but you don't migrate your AT&T Worldnet ID to 'at&t Yahoo! HSI'.

You mean the e-mail messages, not the account itself!

I read it, I just thought you meant 'to keep the account on the @att.net servers.'
I didn't understand you meant 'to keep the e-mail messages on the @att.net servers.' |
