Server Information for Use with the Internet Service
Use the following information to configure your Internet applications:
To Properly Retrieve your Email you need three settings:
POP3 (Incoming) Mail Server- Is 1 of 5 servers, either:
pop1.attglobal.net
pop3.attglobal.net
pop4.attglobal.net
pop5.attglobal.net.
pop6.attglobal.net. Your pop server is assigned during your registration.

POP (Email) Username- Is in the format of "youraccount.youruserid" without quotes (replace with your actual login account and userid).
Mail Password- Is the same as your login password.

To Properly Send Email you need two settings:
Email Address- The initial email address is assigned as userid@domain where userid is your login userid (i.e. userid@attglobal.net).
SMTP (Outgoing) Mail- smtp1.attglobal.net or smtp2.attglobal.net SMTP allows mail to be sent, but you must be connected to our service in order to use these servers.

News (Usenet or NNTP) server- news1.attglobal.net or news2.attglobal.net or news3.attglobal.net. News1.attglobal.net is restricted to connections from the Americas and Asia/Pacific. News2.attglobal.net will only allow connections from Europe, the Middle East and Africa. News3.attglobal.net will allow unrestricted connections. Please view our News Service FAQ for more information.

DNS Servers Corporate Intranet users should contact their SA.
Primary DNS:     165.87.13.129

Alternate 165.87.194.244

In Europe, the Middle East (except Israel) and Africa:
Primary DNS:     152.158.2.48

It is not required that you use these DNS servers based upon your location. Doing so, however, can increase your resolution of DNS names and the subsequent performance of your connection
