Re: New users get att.net instead of bellsouth.net? What POP3 and SMTP servers should be used with the new att.net e-mail addresses in the old BS territory? |

| That's a good question. I just don't know.
I bet Carl  up there might know because he just set up a new FastAccess DSL account that uses an att.net User ID and e-mail address.
Carl was just here a couple hours ago and when he comes back maybe he will see your reply and answer this question for us. |

Users with the att.net domain should use:
Incoming: fpostoffice.isp.att.net
Outgoing: fmailhost.isp.att.net
In theory, mail.bellsouth.net should still work for outgoing anywhere within the BellSouth network, though if you have it set up to use SMTP authentication, it may not like the att.net addresses. The mail.bellsouth.net server does seem to let all BellSouth IP addresses relay without having to authenticate.
I haven't tried to mess around with the mail functionality too much since I won't be using it... have my own domain name instead. |

I'm not sure about servers, as I solely use AT&T Webmail when I use my att.net e-mail account.
When I get home (posting this via laptop and AT&T AirCard, traveling along I-10) I will try it and report with results.

Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication. Account: 'AT&T', Server: 'fpostoffice.isp.att.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authorization not enabled', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
Chatted with support and they say my account did not get set up right and they were opening a ticket. Webmail works but not outlook. |

Anybody know which mail servers to use? I called tech support and they said mail.bellsouth.net but that did not work either. |
|
| Hi Automate: I understand you might have an issue with the mail server name. I just finished setting up a new account ending with att.net. The proper outgoing and incoming mail server name is 'mail.bellsouth.net'. I'm in Cary NC. Hope this helps. |
|
| Thanks BobHelms, mail.bellsouth.net is working after I unchecked the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" box. |
