Re: New webmail changes for legacy email users
It looks like all legacy domains have been migrated now. (Edit: Except ameritech.net) I guess they held off the migration over the holidays.
The anti-spam Mailguard feature of the works much better than the legacy anti-spam measures. You should try it. Only about 1/10 to 1/20 the amount of spam makes it through Mailguard as opposed to what I saw previously on the Prodigy legacy system, so that means from zero to one spams per day get through.
I don't use the 'only accept mail from' setting so I don't know about it. I thought my choice of using the anti-spam filter was migrated to the new AT&T web site, but I might be mistaken. |

| Do you have a lot of mail stored on your account?
Prior to the migration I pretty much cleaned all the stored email out of my account including all the trash and bulk mail just so there wouldn't be much to transfer. Then once the new web mail was accessible, it bumped me off the connection and I had to re-log in to continue accessing it. |

Universe | No,I don't have anything saved in my webmail account. I think it might just be a glitch,and will try again tomorrow.

Springfield, MO | I had the same results. I gave it 30 minutes and tried again. Still got the login error. Guess I'll try again some other time. |

Universe | Is this only for unmerged accounts? My e-mail is merged with Yahoo,would that matter?

| Yes, this is only for the legacy email IDs that never switched to AT&T-Yahoo (or SBC-Yahoo at the time everyone was urged to switch over).
If you migrated an email ID to the Yahoo accounts, this wouldn't apply to it. It is possible to have "straddled" the migration and have left some email IDs behind on the legacy system. I had one person mention doing this several months ago.  |

Universe | So if I create a new sub-account under my master account,it still won't work either?

Reno, NV | I think once you migrated the master account to SBC-Yahoo, any new email subaccounts you create would be handled by Yahoo rather than the legacy system. |
