Opening AT&T Mail Classic Your Way

Being the flexible, make-life-easier company that we are, we give you a variety of options for opening and using your AT&T Mail. In this tutorial, we’ll show you several ways to do just that.

• Opening in a Web browser

  When you use this method, you’re connecting to a server somewhere in Yahoo!land that stores your AT&T Mail (and all of your account information). Because you’re using a Web browser, you can access your email on virtually any computer in the world with an Internet connection.

• Opening in an email application

  If you have an email application, such as Outlook or Eudora, installed on your computer, or a PDA email application, such as VersaMail, installed on your mobile phone, you can set up the email application to connect to the AT&T Mail server and access your mail account using the application.

• By forwarding your AT&T Mail to another email account

  Using this method, you can set up AT&T Mail to forward all incoming email messages to another email address, even another AT&T Mail address. For example, let’s say you have your Yahoo! account, me@att.net, and you have another email account, mine@personal.com. If most of your email comes to mine@personal.com, it might make sense to forward your AT&T Mail to that account so you can read and organize all of your email in one place.

Accessing Other Email Accounts Through AT&T Mail

If you’re looking for a way to manage multiple email accounts in one location, you might consider setting up your AT&T Mail to receive and send email messages from your other email accounts. We cover this in the Accessing Other Email Accounts tutorial.

Using Multiple Email Addresses in One AT&T Mail Account

If you create multiple email accounts to avoid giving your "real" email address to businesses and people you don’t know, use AT&T Mail’s disposable addresses and access all your email in one place while cutting down on spam. Your AT&T Mail account can have many disposable addresses. If you find that a particular disposable address is receiving lots of spam, delete it. Your real email address is still active and still relatively free of unwanted mail.
