Set up AT&T Mail (att.net, sbcglobal, bellsouth)
in any email app.
The correct IMAP, POP3 and SMTP settings for AT&T Mail (att.net, sbcglobal, bellsouth). Use these with BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird or any other mail client.
Instead of using att.net's webmail interface, you can use a mobile or desktop email app like BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird. Desktop email apps offer more features, faster access and offline reading. Your messages are right there even without a connection.
How to set up att.net in BlueMail
- Get BlueMail. Install BlueMail free on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows or Linux, or open web.bluemail.me in your browser.
- Add your account. Open BlueMail and tap Add Account, then choose Email.
- Sign in with your att.net address. Enter your full att.net email address and password.
- Let BlueMail find the settings. BlueMail detects the correct att.net servers automatically. If you're asked to enter them manually, use the settings below: incoming imap.mail.att.net and outgoing smtp.mail.att.net exactly as listed.
- Done. Your att.net inbox appears and stays in sync on every device you sign in on.
First, create an AT&T secure mail key
AT&T mail apps that don't sign in through OAuth can't use your AT&T password — they need a 16-character secure mail key. Create one in your AT&T account profile: sign in, open Settings, pick the right account, then Add secure mail key — and use it as the password on both the incoming and outgoing servers. Keys never expire and survive password changes, but a locked account deletes them all. The same servers cover the whole AT&T family: @att.net, @sbcglobal.net, @bellsouth.net, @ameritech.net, @pacbell.net, @swbell.net, @prodigy.net, @flash.net, @currently.com and more. If you use POP instead of IMAP, the hosts are inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net.
