Viewing Email Access Settings

Your child’s email access settings are stored with other Yahoo! account information on a central server. Email settings are enforced on any computer from which your child tries to use AT&T Mail because the child must log in with him Member ID to use his email account. The computer doesn’t need to have Parental Controls software installed.

Each age-based Parental Controls access level has default email settings. You can easily view and customize these default settings for all access levels except Full Access.

Tip: Before you try to view or change email access settings, be sure that you’re signed in as the Primary Member for your household’s AT&T account. Only the Primary Member can access Parental Controls settings.
