Re: New at&t/Yahoo install. FINALLY got Outlook email to send.
Worldn't is GONE. They dropped me for not having a credit card to bill to.
This is a business office. We BILL everything. We don't HAVE a credit card.
I now have at&t/Yahoo DSL internet connection.
I did the port 25 opt out with the one main user@att.net account.
I still have to physically GO to each and every machine here in the office (EVERY time it CHANGES on somebody's whim at at&t!!) to make it work again. I have to VERIFY every one of my corporate email accounts.
I STILL haven't figured out how to be able to POP my gmail, AGAIN. It worked FINE before.
What does somebody do when they are using these supposedly wonderful 'WiFi HotSpots"?
Do they have to mess with their settings every different place they go? |

1 edit | AT&T Worldnet Service Internet is not tied to any phone number; no way to bill a phone number. They are not an ILEC provider. They provide dial and DSL service to customers who have ILEC services from another provider, such as Qwest, Verizon, Embarq...or even AT&T, the ILEC service.

They said they could NOT bill the Covad Worldnet DSL internet access charges to my at&t phone bill.
They said, "We need a credit card to bill to".
I said, "We don't have one".
They said, "OK, a Debit card will be fine".
I said, "We have none. Not an option".
They said, "Then you might have to cancel service".
I said, "Fine. Cancel this service".
Within 15 seconds, I received an email at my email that I had used for contact to set up the service.
"We have cancelled your Covad Worldnet service". |

For most users, there would be no problem. Use 'smtp.att.yahoo.com' with 'User_ID@pacbell.net' as both the login to the server and the "MAIL FROM" email address: No problem.
The problem arises from using a "MAIL FROM" email address which is different from the login email address for the account you are using.

I was under the impression that you had a old wordnet account and it would not work with your new covad connection and now your att connection??? |

They threw me the curveball and provided me with the service through Covad with the user@worldnet.att.net email address.
The Worldnet email account wouldn't even work unless I was logged in with a PPPoE account on the ONE MACHINE that I was trying to use for email. I didn't try setting up a dedicated machine to do InternetConnectionSharing. It sure wouldn't work with my ES5861 router. Internet surfing was fine with the router, but no email worky. 
I do have DSL at home with (now) at&t.
I have these accounts that worked fine before:
Corporate email: user@work.com.
A paid for Yahoo! Plus user@yahoo.com account.
E-Mail account from home DSL: user@ameritech.net.
A free account user@gmail.com. |
