ATT has outsourced their email handling to Yahoo.  I'm with their DSL 
service in TN; so, I don't know if this information will apply to your 
friend's account or not, but it looks generic enough.  See if you can pull 
up this support page.  It's for configuring Outlook Express.

I take it that she is using a dial-up connection because their DSL is not 
available at her location.  If it were, ATT does offer what they call DSL 
lite, which is about the cost of a dial up connection, but significantly 
faster.  It lends itself well to simple web browsing and email.

Hope this helps.

My friend has a new dialup account with att.net.  (She did have Juno,
but dropped it.)  Unfortunately, it first goes to  Yahoo, which takes
forever to load, then to ATT which takes forever to load, then it takes
forever to load her email.

I tried to set up an account for her in Outlook Express using
pop.att.net and mail.att.net, but ATT would not buy the pop.att.net

If anyone here connects to att.net using Outlook Express, will you
please let me know what the account settings are for Outlook Express.
