   • Return address: Your e-mail address
   • Login Name: Your e-mail address
   • SMTP Server (Outgoing): imailhost.worldnet.att.net
   • Allow authentication: checked
   • Default Domain: leave blank
   • Secure Sockets when Sending: Required, Alternate Port
   • Check Mail: checked
   Be sure to use the longer version of your e-mail address in your Login Name, not the shorter att.net version. The shorter version will work in the Return address box though.
   The remaining fields can be completed according to your personal preferences.
   
5. Place in following information under the Incoming Mail tab.
   • Server: ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net
   • Configuration: POP

   Complete the remaining fields according to your personal preferences and click the OK button.
   
6. Open the Options as shown in the Re-configure existing account instructions shown above, click the Checking Mail icon, and make sure that the Send on check box is checked so authentication to the SMTP server can be accomplished.

The first time that you send e-mail by clicking on the Send button, it might fail. If this happens, click the Check Mail button. This will check for incoming mail and allow the authentication to take place for the sending of outgoing mail. After the first time, this should no longer be necessary.
