AT&T addresses (att.net, sbcglobal.net, bellsouth.net and more) use these servers. Mail apps that sign in with a password need an AT&T secure mail key.

Make a secure mail key
- Open your AT&T profile. Sign in at att.com and go to your sign-in info.
- Create a secure mail key. Make one for your email address and copy it.
- Use it as the password. Paste it into your mail app instead of your AT&T password.
Use AT&T in GotEmail
In GotEmail, choose Add Account, then Other (IMAP), and type the settings from the table: the IMAP and SMTP servers, their ports and encryption, your username and password. GotEmail checks them as you sign in and tells you what to fix if a server says no.
Good to know
- The same servers work for att.net, sbcglobal.net, bellsouth.net, pacbell.net, prodigy.net, swbell.net and AT&T's other email domains.
