      AT&T changed again, originally whether you had SBC Global or SWBELL.net or yahoo.com; AT&T took them all allowed you to log into Yahoo.com get your email and use webmail features. You could take that email username and password and setup in Outlook or Thunderbird, Windows live or where ever. Then they switched and out of nowhere the webmail worked but all third party email failed. So after a pain staking research we wrote instructions to pass the AT&T third party verification process and we were back in business. Sad to say it has happened again, but Fret not as we have once again researched again to find you the new AT&T “Secure Mail Key” So now you can log in to yahoo.com and everything works but no third party mail. There is nothing wrong with your password if it works at Yahoo.com just follow these instructions and at the end the new key replaces your password. All good, and your AT&T email address i still working.
      Instructions below:

      Check or enter your User Name (full AT&T email address).
      In the password field, enter your secure mail key and select the Remember password checkbox.
      Select Next. Outlook will test your account settings.
      Select Close, then Finish.

      Go to Profile > Sign-in info. Select the email account that you want to get a secure mail key for. (You’ll find a drop-down menu at the top if you have multiple accounts.) Scroll to Secure mail key and select Manage secure mail key.
