AT&T = Ameritech = SBC = AT&T

Now that "the phone company" has come full circle, most clients who signed up for SBC Global DSL service are being phased into the AT&T DSL service. If you did not receive an email from AT&T instructing you on how to change your POP and SMTP mail servers, and are having trouble with email, here are the correct settings.

Instead of:
pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com use pop.att.yahoo.com

Instead of:
smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com use smtp.pop.yahoo.com

Change the POP server port to 995 instead of 110 and
change the SMTP server port to 465 instead of 25.

Got it? If not, let me know if you need a housecall.
