Microsoft does their own version of this and it's why there exists an Open Systems initiative.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23287515 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:11:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23269959
Since giving the task to Yahoo I have random send and receive issues. Even when checking via webmail, I get a Yahoo error message that reports all will be fine shortly.

My problems started again about 4 days ago so I went and got my own domain for the family, no issues here now!

Also by having my own domain, I can leave ATT and not have to worry about loosing any emails!

Theres no way ATT does not know, in my last report to the very helpful employees direct forum here, they had several folks calling me to help.

Their response was after 11 years, my line is too noisy for my speed! They also sent a new modem to try, I have yet to do it because all of the issues had resolved, but soon returned after a week of being clear.

I guess in the end, ATT wins since I had to go and spend extra money to get my mail, but at least I am getting my mail now!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23269959 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:19:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23260183 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23260183 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:22:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23259497
On another forum, someone said they talked to ATT and the tech said they did some kind of server maintenance on Tuesday. If you're unable to send, they suggested going into your mail settings and changing your SMTP username from user%whatever.net to user@whatever.net.

I made the change and it's working. Apparently it may revert back to needing the %, the ATT tech wasn't sure. So if this stops working, just change it back.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23259497 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:25:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23253824 smtp.att.yahoo.com instead.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23253824 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:44:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Can-no-longer-send-email-23250274
Those poor people who have happened to switch their email settings during this server "outage" are screwed because they will think it is something they have done.

Sometimes switching to a known working email server IP will fix it.

You could also use Web mail in a pinch.
