• Was getting outdated certificate message with old setup. This fix corrected the problem. Thanks.

  2016-09-20 21:19:58

• Update. It seems to have deleted the mail I downloaded from the server so I cannot access it on my phone! It wont let me modify my settings either, blanks out that option. Also the spam filter is no longer working.

  2016-07-30 17:45:44

• Thank you so much! Find advanced settings and the pop mail to enter the settings on this page in the comments. My folders don't show up and neither does spam folder but at least I can see my basic mail.

  2016-07-30 17:29:54

• Finally! I missed the part about user = full email address. Once I entered that, and the port numbers in the incoming/outgoing boxes (ex. "pop.att.yahoo.com:995:0"), it worked on my Win 10 PC. Thanks a million!

• worked like a champ, we could not get windows 10 mail app to sync but now works like a charm

  2016-06-13 22:13:21

• Great! Worked like a charm!!!

  2016-06-03 18:18:08

• This worked for me.... however.... Windows 10 did not have a place to put in the ports. Luckily.... I was able to figure out to put the incoming as pop.att.yahoo.com:995:0 and the outgoing as smtp.att.yahoo.com:465:0 I checked all four boxes below the input area (authentication, same name in and out, SSL yes for both).

• Thanks ! It is working my bellsouth...this is great.

  2016-03-29 13:44:48

• worked great for me !!!! big thanks

  2016-03-14 21:51:26

• When I finished setting up Outlook using the pop/smtp, every thing looks good. My Inbox populated. I can receive mail. However I can send, but my Sent Items did not populate from the online bellsouth.net sent folder. Any ideas why it didn't sync?

  2016-02-03 17:07:23

• I changed to the pop.att.yahoo.com setting and do not get email. I leave it at mail.bellsouth.net and all is fine.

  2015-05-05 10:37:48

• Thank you so much for this page. I have been trying to get my email setup for a while with this new computer. I finally decided to see if there was anything out there and found this site... It's working fine now... Again THANKS.. David

• Thank you sir for this info!

  2013-12-11 08:28:44

• Thank you for such precise instructions.

  2013-10-25 21:22:04

• Finally! I was able to utilize my C-Spire 4G Hotspot with Windows Live Mail and be able to send e-mail using the configuration data provided.

• As of now, Aug 2013, ATT website support for bellsouth.net legacy addresses says that pop.att.yahoo.com and smtp.att.yahoo.com continue to work at this time but they have updated the server info on their website. Server now set to incoming.att.net and outbound.att.net for incoming and outgoing servers. All other settings are the same: 995 incoming, 465 outgoing, and SSL = yes.

  2013-09-04 18:27:07

• under servers tab: inbound.att.net (pop3), outbound.att.net (smtp), log use clear text authentication, outgoing mail server (click requires authentication) under advanced tab: port 465 - outgoing, port 995 - incoming both require SSL information find at http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB401738&cv=801#fbid=5LuvWjYlYTA

  2013-08-03 11:30:41

• easy fix thanks, you were desperately needed

  2013-08-02 20:29:09

• What does LEGACY customers mean?

  2013-07-14 10:18:03

• WHERE is the OLD Bellsouth.net mailbox? I had to restore my computer a while back and didn't know how to reset up my Bellsouth and had no idea where to contact anyone to find out and now I think I know and want to set it up but all I get is my Yahoo.com mailbox.

  2013-07-14 10:16:17

• This is really CRAP!!!! Bringing up new things is great, but killing legacy operations STINKS!!!!! I've already wasted several hours, and I still don't have my email. I am a long time Thunderbird user and I am very disappointed with the treatment that bellsouth has given me!!!!!

  2013-06-27 13:21:14

• Excellent detail. Worked flawlessly. Very much appreciated.

  2013-06-01 15:57:17

• Thank you! 20 hours and countless tears later... it's fixed. Susan

  2013-04-01 22:58:12

• ATT support tried to send me to the paid support saying they did not support the Microsoft Outlook product and the error was in the Outlook setup. I declined, researched and found this info, worked great.

  2013-03-23 19:34:08

• Perfect! Thank you!

  2013-02-07 08:49:32

• Have spent untold time attempting to set up email on a nextbook7p. Thank goodness this worked. Don't think I would have ever acomplished it without this information. THANKS!!!

  2012-12-26 20:01:59

• I agrree, worked great! but for newer computer users only...read on... please note there is no option for pop3 only imap...so use that option, had I'd known that....would have saved me considerable time, I guess everyone assumes that you have the newesst and greatest technology........bought my computer a year ago:) many thanks for the help!!!!!

  2012-08-21 23:42:49

• excellent! Thanks

  2012-08-13 18:41:08

• Thankfully this worked after spending a frustrating session with ATT support and when they could not help me they wanted to refer me to their fee-based division or their Microsoft division. Sad part was I tried to tell the lady I was pretty sure the outgoing and incoming info was incorrect since the email was yahoo based now but she assured me that was not correct--thanks for helping me get my emails working.

  2012-08-05 20:39:32

• What worked for me was Incoming (IMAP) imap.mail.yahoo.com Outgoing (SMTP) smtp.att.yahoo.com Select SSL

  2012-07-11 17:42:48

• I did a Yahoo search to find out this info - didn't even know exactly what I was looking for and this page came up with everything I needed. I did it - I now have email on my new cell phone!!! Thank you for making this info so easy.

  2012-01-28 14:39:13

• check this website www.support.com/email/isp/bellsouth I think that's the same config. but has some other email stuff as well

  2012-01-03 14:01:13

• Worked like a charm.

  2011-11-16 22:04:08

• In the "note" it says the email login does NOT require the @bellsouth.net after the username. In the section right above that, it shows in parenthesis that it IS required. Which is it?

  2011-11-11 07:44:34 (GuruGuy )

• if this Outgoing mail port # 465, doesn't work then try Port # 25 instead...

  2011-11-09 21:15:51

• THANKS! This works! (9/29/2011) Hopefully they won't change it again for a while.

  2011-09-29 19:20:10

• ridiculously helpful!!! Could not find this anywhere!!!!!

  2011-01-12 13:17:20

• Thanks again. It seems every time I reinstall windows and have to set up my email again, this is the page I find to remind me how to do it. Works the first time every time. Thanks a bunch!

  2011-01-07 21:31:33
