1 edit |  Sending AT&T E-mail I am asked for PW. It won't accept my PW
A friend of mine and I both have the same problem with AT&T E-Mail . I have SSL on. When I try to send an Email I am asked for a password. I have entered every password I know and it will not accept any of them. If I turn SSL off then I can send OK. What password is it asking for? Both me and my friend are new to AT&T. If my wife doesn't get this resolved soon we will have to get rid of AT&T. |

| I chatted with AT&T for awhile but that didn't help. The E-mail I was using was not an ATT E-mail and I had defined it to ATT.Yahoo.com. I could send an E-mail if I turned off SSL. but I need to have it on. I looked at the account settings in Thunderbird and thought I'd plug the address into the "Reply-to Address" field since it was not an att.net. THAT FIXED IT. I didn't find that documented anywhere. |

Now my problem is that I can't receive an E-mail from my 3rd party server. I chatted with ATT support which didn't help. It was complaining about fpostoffice.isp.att.net for a POP server. I changed it to pop.att.net That made it better but didn't fix it. I still couldn't receive anything on my Thunderbird ID (I could receive on my att ID (me@att.net)) It kept timing out. I was using port 995 with SSL turned on. I finally turned SSP off on the pop server and changed to port 110. Now I can receive from my 3rd party POP server. I think att yahoo has a bug in their code. Does anyone know if this is a problem to run with no SSL on your POP server? |

Rdj5417,
It's odd currently I'm using MS outlook and it's asking me for my password when trying to login and get my mail. I believe there's something going on with the server or perhaps they did like they so often do and made a change without telling anyone. |
