Here are the new settings for my ATT account.

Time is running out — update your email settings to help us serve you better.

Dear AT&T Yahoo! Member,

We recently contacted you about some important security improvements we're making to your AT&T Yahoo! service. These changes will affect members who send or receive email from a desktop or mobile client program, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Eudora, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird.

To help us ensure the security of your email, you will need to change the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program. Please choose one of the three options:

Make the Changes Automatically: To automatically make the required changes to Outlook Express only, use the AT&T Yahoo! Email Auto-Configuration Tool or the AT&T Self Support Tool.

• The AT&T Yahoo! Email Auto-Configuration Tool will automatically change your email settings. The tool can be downloaded from AT&T Yahoo! Help site and follow the installation instructions.



• If you already have the AT&T Self Support Tool installed on your computer, simply select Cannot send/receive email from the Self Support Tool Main Interface to run an email settings check. When prompted to change your email settings, select Yes. NOTE: This will only provide changes to Outlook Express.
• If you do not have the AT&T Self Support Tool installed, download it and then follow the instructions above.

Make the Changes Manually: To manually make the required setting changes in Outlook, Outlook Express and other email applications, please view the detailed instructions here.

Alternatively, you may take the following steps to change the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program:

1. Open your email client program.
2. Locate the email account settings for your particular client.
3. Change the POP server to pop.att.yahoo.com.
4. Change the SMTP server to smtp.att.yahoo.com.
5. Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change the SMTP port to 465.
6. Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change the POP3 port to 995.
7. Confirm the above settings then click OK.

The web-based version of AT&T Yahoo! Mail is not affected by these changes and will continue to be available at http://mail.yahoo.com.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Once these security enhancement are fully implemented only SSL compatible email clients will be able to access client email (POP/SMTP). Some older email client versions may not support SSL. Please go to the AT&T Yahoo! Help site located here to determine if your email client supports SSL and to see if updates or patches are available to support SSL. If your email client does not support SSL it will be necessary for you to upgrade your email client in order to use client email. As always, all customers are welcome to utilize the web-based version of AT&T Yahoo! Mail available at http://mail.yahoo.com.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
AT&T Yahoo! Customer Care
