I can't stress what ATech says enough.... don't use connection manager.... it's the biggest load of crap ever produced....

Change nothing. You can choose not to install software in the migration, also.

Now, I can't access any of my secondary account's email. I can get email with my primary account.

Eeeek! :)

You have to go into "My Account" from the SBC Yahoo homepage and import the sub accounts. Problem is (at least for me) is after the 7 - 15 times it takes for me to log into the homepage, I get "This page cannot be displayed" for almost EVERY link on it!!

Man, I should have NEVER upgraded... Connection manager doesnt work either!

He wants to be logged into two different accounts at the SAME TIME. He does not want to have to sign out from one to sign into the other.

said by AmeritecTech :

That's what we're saying, Kcazzie. That the only way it can be done is with separate browsers.

kcazzie
Kthansen wanted to be logged into both accounts at the same time but in different windows.

---

said by janderso1 :

---

I believe the reason you can’t be logged on to both accounts at the same time is that they are trying to use the same cookie. My work around is to use a different browser for each account.

Are you going to call Premium Services and see if they can do anything for you??

I also got the email inviting me to upgrade to Yahoo.
 
Yes, I think I will upgrade to SBC Yahoo DSL and "merge"
my Yahoo id, but I have a few questions. I have read all the FAQs,
but am not clear on a few points.
 
1)  When my yahoo id is "merged", is it possible to still login
to yahoo with the just "merged" id, and see mail sent to me.
Or, is the only option to get to my mail is to logon to SBC Yahoo
with my xxx.ameritech.net id?
 
2) When I merge my free Yahoo email id, will my current structure, 
twenty-nine email folders and inbox, and all my email filters, 
be maintained, or will the "merge" process just dump all the 
email from my yahoo id into my SBC Yahoo inbox?

Well, I did the migration this morning, even though the
migration page said to "wait till tomorrow".
 
Guess what, It appears to have worked perfectly and
immediately.  Mail works fine, client & Web based.
I did not like SBC changing my default home page, but 
easy to change back.
 
Oh yea, I DID NOT merge my free yahoo ID, as everyone 
recommended.  BUT, one minor problem, and probably of my
making, because of an option I took during the migration
process.  I can not be logged on to SBC Yahoo, and free 
yahoo at the same time in different browser windows.
 
The migration process asked me if I had a free yahoo id,
and I said no, so that probably caused my minor problem.
 
Does anyone know if there is something I can do about this
after the migration is done?  Thanks

When the registration server went down, a queue built up. Now the registration server has alot of work to do and is just starting to get it done. Details in the thread started by Ameritcslave.

OK thanks to all I have successfully migrated my single email address to SBC\yahoo successfully with my desk top computer. My mail is working just fine and dandy and I see no major change in my connection.

I'm totally jealous of you right now. ;)

Here is my solution to the problem!! I need to find and marry a nice lady with the first name that starts with a 'S' and she can have my master account!

I don't even have a single member of my family tree that has a first name that starts with S

I didn't D/L dialup connection either...Isn't there a way to do it...?...

It didn’t fix my Netscape Communicator mail settings and when I changed it manually to smtp.ameritech.yahoo.com I get invalid password/username. Fortunately it did setup a new IE account that works. Does anyone know how to make Netscape mail work?

I got the email today inviting me to upgrade to Yahoo.
Do I need to bypass my router during the upgrade?
After the upgrade, do I need to change the login in the router and if so will it be newname@sbcglobal.net?
Does the news server/news server login change?
If you don’t have to install any software upgrade, why does it immediately try to install the “Yahoo Install Manager”?

---

I got the same email today. All very good questions. I am still waiting a while to do this. I want to see if people are successful before doing it.

---

said by cookeys :

---

I was able to set up my email, but I'm not receiving any email. I've sent myself several test messages from different accounts, but haven't gotten a single one so far.

Am I scaring anyone away from upgrading? ;)

said by JasonVeith :

---

Here is the issue I ran into. All the premium services are hooked to the primary account. I never use that account. I'm looking for a way to move the premium services to my sub-account that I always use.

Anyone with any ideas ??

---

said by janderso1 :

---

Other than email, the transition was fairly painless

---

said by MSeng :

---

cookeys, I would suggest you try logging on and resubmitting (merging) your sub-accounts again.

Next question...I signed out of Yahoo/DSL...And signed into my old yahoo account with 'E' and Yahoo Messenger...Am I OK...?...Or will I have to keep my new Yahoo account to get on...?...This seems to easy...Or I didn't do something right...

Edit...Just signed on to my router as id@ameritech.net and worked, this is the new one I just put in, actually old one I haven't used in a few years...Is this right...?...I thought we would have a different sign on...?...

Will these mail servers be more stable than the crappy servers that Ameritech currently has?
I would guess they will be about the same.

So what are the Premium Services?

So... my question is... How long do we have before we have to switch?

said by cookeys :

Nope. From a Yahoo account, from an Ameritech account. From an account on my own domain.

Nothing nothing nothing.

said by MSeng :

It sounds like you logged on with your User Name. Yo have to log on with the Sub-Account User name to properly migrate it.

You have to login to the Yahoo system...

...and move the accounts. After moving the accounts, I manually configured Outlook.

Be sure you put @ameritech.net after your user name.

Right, because it's not totally painless for me. I can't access email, or login to any of my subaccounts from Ameritech. I just created a new email address, and that one works fine...

What kind of software in this upgrade? Isn't there a Yahoo browser like AOL or something?

I too will wait a long while before entering myself into the SBC goliath database. Alhtough I do appreciate very much being able to keep my email address :). I've heard from many pissed off AT&T customers about their email changing 2-3 times in the past year.

I'm using Win XP's PPPOE, will have have to download an additional software if I want to upgrade to Yahoo! ???

---

said by cookeys :

So, what exactly is it then?

---

said by cookeys :

---

Ok, here's a couple of questions.

I don't really understand all that's going on with this anymore. I haven't been paying close attention for some time now.

1. What will happen if someone doesn't migrate their account voluntarily? Will it eventually be done for them without their knowledge or consent?

2. Is there anything at all about this that could possibly screw up a connection, get someone's speed capped, or anything like that?

3. Will these mail servers be more stable than the crappy servers that Ameritech currently has?

That's all I can think of for now.

---

said by AmeritecTech :

---

Oops! You will have to make changes, I just realized. It only updates mail settings for Outlook Express, so you'll need to change your settings for Outlook (although the servers you're currently using will still work for an undetermined amount of time).

Mail servers will be pop.ameritech.yahoo.com and smtp.ameritech.yahoo.com, and login name will be the full uid@ameritech.net.
