Windows 10: Outlook Server/Port settings for att.net emails

Have an att.email address. Outlook server/port info for inbound/outbound emails included POP3/att.net settings. Cannot now receive/send emails since ATT has changed inbound/outbound mail to be routed through yahoo.com. Need to keep my existing att.net address. Need to know server/port setting info to continue using my existing email address through Outlook.

Outlook & Ports

Chances are your new ISP is blocking port 25. This isn't uncommon(ATT and comcast do it in my area because of all the peoples computers that get infected with SPAM bots that constantly send out SPAM on port 25).

You probably have to use an alternate SMTP port. However, you can't just change the port to 587. The email service you are using has to support that alternate port, or Outlook will not recieve any responce when it tries to communicate with the server.

Check with the email service that you are using and see what alternate SMTP ports their server supports(if any) and change it to one of those.

And your router isn't blocking any outgoing connections, so you don't have to configure anything special with the router(like openning ports) to get Outlook to work.

 

configure Server Ports in Outlook e-mail app


I just updated the Outlook mail app and it seems that you can specify the servers and if they use SSL. Specifying SSL should set up the ports as you need them for AT&T

Add account
Select advanced setup
Select Internet email
Select POP3
make sure both Use SSL boxes are checked.




That should do it, I did not take it to the next step - I don't have AT&T as a provider *Wink

 

Outlook 2010 and iphone4 email questions!!

If Outlook is set as a POP3 account, and the option isn't enabled to leave a copy of the email on the server, then yes you are correct, once the email is downloaded to the computer with outlook it won't be accessible on the iPhone.
