Pocomail settings for AT&T U-verse service

[schmehel]

Has anyone setup a Pocomail account for AT&T U-verse? I can receive mail with no problem, but I can't send. AT&T customer service isn't of much help as they don't provide any advice for Pocomail.

My General settings are:

Incoming Server: pop.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server: smtp.att.yahoo.com
Enable sescure connection (SSL) is checked

My Outgoing settings are:
Outgoing server port number: 465
Enable sescure connection (SSL) is checked

Error log on attempting to send mail:

Logging into smtp.att.yahoo.com server...
Socket Error # 0

Make sure your accounts "Username:" is the full email address; e.g., username@att.yahoo.com; or if this is the case try just the username.

If that does not work try port 587 and check "Use TLS/STARTTLS"

Socket Error # 0

Could me a lot of things, perhaps your firewall is blocking SMTP?

[schmehel]

Thanks Chris. Still doesn't work. I shut down the firewall when I re-attempted.

[chrisretusn]

Not sure were to go from here. Could it be your Anti-Virus interfering with PocoMail on send.

[schmehel]

Afraid that isn't it either. I'm using Comodo's integrated application (Comodo Internet Security) wich I shut down while testing. I'm bummed.

If you have disabled Comodo, check that the Windows built-in firewall wasn't enabled automatically instead, and if it was, check that Pocomail is granted full rights.

With the configuration mentioned, I'll mostly reiterate:
- username shall be in a full form, ie including @ sing and domain name assigned
- while SSL shall be ticked in Outgoing tab, TLS/STARTTLS shall remain UNticked, and Login shall be used for Authentication type.

If that didn't help, please try to submit a support request if you can send emails using some other ISP/smtp server, through menu Help > Email support.

At last! The right combination of settings has been found.
Thank you all for your assistance.

For the benefit of others what was the right combination.

Here are the settings that work for me:

General Settings Panel
Enable secure connection: checked
Incoming Server: pop.att.yahoo.com
Username: xxxxxxx@att.net
Enable secure connection (SSL): checked
Outgoing Server: smtp.att.yahoo.com
Use same userid/password for Outgoing server: unchecked

Incoming Settings Panel
Incoming server port number: checked - 995

Outgoing Settings Panel
Outgoing server port number: checked - 465
Use Outgoing Server Authentication: checked
Username: xxxxxxx@att.net
Authentication Type: LOGIN
Enable secure connection (SSL): checked
Use TLS/STARTTLS: unchecked
