Re: When are we going to get att.net mail?
The guys at at&t told me that we weren't going to merge over to at&t e-mail addresses, ever. Just like they've kept their other networks.
Also, I tested the »www5.bellsouth.net information you posted. When you try to add a e-mail address, it just adds another bellsouth.net account. |

FWIW, the old, legacy SBC domains are not being retired, and customers using them (I am still 'pacbell.net') won't be forced to give them up. But, currently, new 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' customers are assigned 'sbcglobal.net' accounts, unless they choose a path, in the account activation process, which takes them to 'att.net'.
As for the former Bellsouth region; until that is merged into the 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' system, I suspect that 'bellsouth.net' will remain in effect on new account signups.
I don't know when, or even if, that is going to happen.

Birmingham, AL | it'll happen eventually. at least I hope so. at&t's systems are so fragmented, I'm surprised they're saving any money at all. there seems to be little to no integration, each division is operating as a silo without any regards to the other. |
