This guide will walk you through common problems and solutions to help you get your email back on track.

Step 1: Check Your Internet Connection
The first step is to ensure that your internet connection is stable. A poor connection can prevent you from accessing your email.
Test your connection by trying to open a website. If it doesn’t load, try restarting your router.
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data if you're on a smartphone to see if the problem persists.
Step 2: Verify Login Credentials
If you’re unable to log in, it might be due to incorrect credentials.
Double-check your username and password. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive.
If you’ve forgotten your password, you can reset it through the AT&T password recovery process.
Step 3: Clear Browser Cache and Cookies
Sometimes, browser cache and cookies can interfere with email functionality.
For Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data. Select "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files," then click "Clear Data."
For Firefox: Go to Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data, then click on "Clear Data."
After clearing the cache, try logging into your SBCGlobal email again.
Step 4: Update Your Email Settings
If you're using an email client (like Outlook or Thunderbird), ensure that your server settings are correct.
Incoming Mail (IMAP):
Server: imap.mail.att.net
Port: 993 (SSL)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP):
Server: smtp.mail.att.net
Port: 465 or 587 (SSL)
Make sure these settings are applied in your email client.
Step 5: Check for Service Outages
Sometimes, the issue may be due to server outages.
Visit the AT&T service status page to check if there are any reported outages affecting SBCGlobal email services.
If there’s an outage, you’ll need to wait until it’s resolved.
Step 6: Disable Security Software Temporarily
Firewalls or antivirus software can sometimes block your email access.
Temporarily disable any security software and try accessing your email again.
If this resolves the issue, consider adjusting the settings in your security software to allow access to your email.
Step 7: Try a Different Browser or Device
If you're using a web browser, try switching to a different one to see if the problem persists.
If you’re on a computer, try accessing your email on a smartphone or tablet, or vice versa.
Sometimes, specific browsers may have compatibility issues with the email service.
Step 8: Contact Customer Support
If none of the above steps work, it’s time to reach out for help.
