| Migrating email from AT&T I finally fixed my bad DSL service (which tech support would never acknowledge as being bad) by switching to Comcast. Now the Airport Extreme that couldn't hold a connection to AT&T works just fine connected to Comcast.
My question is: What happens with my sbcglobal.net domain email addresses? Do I lose them after canceling my DSL service? I know I've seen some discussion on this before. |

| I also have a att.net email I was wondering the same with. A person on the Att forums told me I get to keep it but not fully sure. |

After the cancellation of AT&T Services, you will be able to access your AT&T e-mail account and send/receive mails using the same AT&T e-mail address. |

The Airport Extreme is a modem? Interesting!

Glastonbury, CT | Hi, Norman - Any idea what would be the case with the old legacy addresses - snet.net, etc.? |

My old 'pacbell.net' accounts still work through 'mail.yahoo.com' after a year and a half.

No, I had to get a cable modem to change technologies, but I didn't want to go into all the details here. Bottom line after one by one replacing various parts of my setup: Airport Extreme and DSL modem each were not faulty, but replacing the DSL service itself did solve the problem.
I use a mail client (Apple Mail) rather than logging in with a web browser for mail. I guess the next question is whether the settings for mail servers will need changing. Currently they are pop.att.yahoo.com for incoming and smtp.att.yahoo.com for outgoing. |

I've heard different reports about client access. I would recommend not changing anything, unless something breaks. If something breaks, post back for assistance.

Glastonbury, CT | I too use pop.att.yahoo.com. As a test, I set up a mail.yahoo.com account in my mail client (TBird). It worked fine, although that's not necessarily proof positive it would if I cancelled my my ATT DSL account. |

I canceled AT&T in April, 2011. I was in the 'pacbell.net' domain (former Pacific Bell Telephone). All 'pacbell.net' accounts are still active. I use these settings in Mozilla Thunderbird:
Configuring T-Bird for converted ex-AT&T accounts.
