Re: [Services] Received this in my AT&T e-mail this morning...
Mine neither. Hey AT&T, how about giving us BS users the rates you give the AT&T users. Now that we could really use. Not a different home page lay out. |

I tried to login to my ATT account but I can't.
www.att.net > Mail enter @att.net address and password but it always rejects it.
I had never tried to check the email. I am using the same username/password that is setup for PPPoE on the router.

They need to send mail notices out and not rely on email.
I only use the email address with BS to authenticate for DSL, don't care for their email use. |

My 'pacbell.net' login works here. | 
My 'pacbell.net' login doesn't work here. |
»att.my.yahoo.com/
That page will only work for migrated SBC users, and new 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' users.
I believe you should be using:
»webmail.att.net/
That redirects to:
»https://webauth.att.net/auth/webmail/log···24332362
When I try to log in with my 'pacbell.net' ID at the second page, it fails. There are a few old SBC customers, with email in the nine legacy domains, who did not migrate, and can't use the Yahoo! pages. Those customers can use the second one, same as AT&T Worldnet, and legacy Bellsouth customers.

·Pacific Bell - SBC
| That is one of nine legacy domains from the SBC side of the company:
ameritech.net
flash.net
nvbell.net
pacbell.net
prodigy.net
sbcglobal.net
snet.net
swbell.net
wans.net
They are representative of the various companies that SBC bought, after they changed their name. Originally, they were one of the seven "Regional Operating Bell Companies" ("RBOCs"): "Southwestern Bell Telephone". They changed their name to just plain SBC (I am reasonably certain that CEO Ed Whitacre stated that the "SBC" had no particular acronymic meaning). Then they started buying:
RBOC Ameritech ('ameritech.net').
RBOC Pacific Telesis Group ('nvbell.net' and 'pacbell.net').
Regional LEC Southern New England Telephone Co. ('snet.net').
ISP Prodigy ('flash.net', 'prodigy.net', and 'wans.net').
My understanding of SNET is that the old AT&T had a minor stake in the company, and divested themselves of that stake before the breakup, and not under judicial pressure; so it was never considered an RBOC, or a part of the 1984 breakup under the consent decree.
SBC, and now AT&T, continue to use those domains, though they no longer issue new accounts using them.
When SBC bought AT&T, they added the AT&T domains, to the list, as well:
att.net
worldnet.att.net
Ed Whitacre remained in charge of the company, changed its name from "SBC" to "AT&T", then went on to buy RBOC Bellsouth.
