I checked my error reports and the last AT&T issue I had was on 9-18 when
I got this error that I didn't even know about:
Connecting to Internet using Account "AT&T Broadband"
Checking email account "<accountnameremoved>@mail.attbi.com"
** Pop server error "-ERR mail storage services unavailable, wait a
few minutes and try again."
I think it must be some local configuration issue because I have had the
same service for almost 3 years now (ATT replaced MediaOne) and have
rarely had a hiccup. I do know that the little "areas" of ATT Broadband,
both Cable and Net are run semi-independently from each other.
Here's my setup info, I believe all the servers are the same:
Account Name (Emailer): AT&T Broadband
User Name: Me
Email Account: <account>@mail.attbi.com
Email Password: ++++++++
SMTP Server: mail.attbi.com
Email address: <account>@attbi.com
Hope that helps somehow. :-\
