Accessing Your Mail From a Web Browser

AT&T Mail is web-based. This means your AT&T Mail account is actually a web site on an AT&T Mail server. With your Member ID, you can access and send email messages using a web-based AT&T Mail client from any computer with an Internet connection and a web browser.

Use the URL http://att.yahoo.com/mail to communicate with the AT&T Yahoo! mail server from a web-based mail client.

The supported web browsers are:

  • IE 5.5 and higher (for Windows)
  • Firefox 1.0 (for Mac and Windows)
  • Mozilla Suite 1.7
  • Netscape 7.2
  • Safari 3

When you use a web-based mail client, your email is stored in your mailbox on an AT&T Mail server. None of the messages that you send or receive are stored on your local computer. The AT&T Mail client lets you read, forward, organize, and delete email messages that are stored in your mailbox, plus send email messages.

 

Here’s How

  1. Make sure that the computer you are using is connected to the Internet.

  2. Open a web browser, such as Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer.

  3. Type the following address in the browser’s address box and press Enter:

    http://att.yahoo.com/mail

    The AT&T Mail sign-in page appears in the browser.

  4. Type your AT&T email address (for example, username@att.net) and password, then click the Sign In button.

    Type your AT&T email address and password, then click the Sign In button.

    Your personal email page appears in the browser.
