This is very true indeed.  AT&T had to transition a great deal of accounts and there
are plenty of us who got left behind.  Repeated emails to tech support, lots of time
spent on hold with customer support got me a lot of "your account will be
transitioned soon" responses, but no email account @attbi.com (not even yet). 
They're supposedly working on it now, but only because someone technically inclined
saw a newsgroup post of mine and emailed me directly.

Fortunately I try to avoid using ISP email accounts.  I've changed ISPs too many
times and know how hard it is to get everyone to update their address books that I
just give out my Yahoo! address making life simpler.
