Hi Tom! Thanks so much for forwarding the information onto the
list again. Given the fact that I primarily use my voicenote m
power to send and receive email, this of course is a major
concern. Let's all hope that Humanware is aware of this and that
they are working to implement the necessary changes to key-mail.
Very disturbing. Isaih

Email security enhancements - action requiredHi listers,
This is a forwarded copy of the notice regarding AT&T's e-mail
changes. As you'll see, SSL is a requirement, thus we who check
AT&T e-mail using the BrailleNote will, as of 8/31/07, be blown
out of the water unless we do it via
http://mail.yahoo.com.
Doing it on the web is okay, but cumbersome. Message composition
can be a pain in the backside.
Tom

Dear AT&T Yahoo! Member,
We're making some security improvements 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, use the AT&T Self Support
Tool.
a.. 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.
b.. 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 and Outlook Express, 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.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
AT&T Yahoo! Customer Care
