AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet
Now that your AT&T High Speed Internet service is installed, every networked computer
in your home can share the same fast connection on a wireless home network. Use this
Starter Guide to learn how to access your email from the Web, set email up at home,
use Wi-Fi hotspots, and add free security software.
Access your email from the Web
Reading AT&T Mail via the Web is the preferred and recommended method for email
access. AT&T Mail via the Web lets you log into your email account anytime at home
and on the go from any computer via the Internet. Your emails, contacts, and calendar
are stored online without using space on your hard drive. Plus, you can set up your
AT&T Mail to collect messages from other email accounts so they're all in one place.
Log in at att.net using your AT&T master ID or sub account member ID (email address)
and password, and click the mail button.
Set up email on your home computer
Client-based email* (POP/SMTP) uses software like Outlook Express to download email
directly to your computer.
Open the email software you plan to use and enter the following information in the
account setup window:
>
Email address: MemberID@att.net
> Incoming (POP): inbound.att.net
> Outgoing (SMTP): outbound.att.net (requires authentication)
>
Incoming mail server: POP3
> Incoming mail port number: 995 [make sure secure Connection (ssl) is checked]
> Outgoing mail port number: 465 [make sure secure Connection (ssl) is checked]
> Set password authentication for outgoing mail
NoTe: When updating the secure server settings, check the SSL checkbox first and
then update the port number if necessary.

*There are numerous client-based email products supplied by non-AT&T third-party vendors. You may incur a fee if you
require AT&T ConnectTech support for these products. Alternatively, AT&T also provides online self-help at att.com/
uversesupport for these applications. As always, we recommend that our customers use AT&T Mail access via the Web,
which provides a broad set of functionality to manage and access email anywhere and at any time.
