I just converted my old DSL account from Bellsouth to the new AT&T U-verse. It is much faster and I really love it - I use to connect with 1.5 mbps and now I have 12.0 mbps!! It really is faster.
However, it took me over 2 hours to get my email working correctly (after I finally noticed that something was wrong). I initially did not change any of the account settings for my email and it seemed to be working fine. But then I found out that I was receiving incoming emails ok, but any outgoing emails would not work.
The fix is easy.
(1) Go to your email client - Outlook Express, Windows Mail, etc., and edit your Account's property settings.
(2) Change your "incoming server" to inbound.att.net (POP server)
(3) Change your "outgoing server" to outbound.att.net (SMTP server)
(4) Change the incoming mail port # to 995 (POP port)
(5) Change the outgoing mail port # to 465 (SMTP port)
(6) Check off all places that SSL is required.
I found that information at the AT&T U-verse Help website at this address: AT&T U-verse Email Server Settings
