![]() I stuck with the secure mail key since theoretically things will continue to work come April 1. What that announcement came out I experimented with the secure mail key and found it or the account password would work in my Thunderbird client. I could only get it working at all if I used the secure mail I get the feeling that they'd really rather everyone use webmail, as they won't have (as many) issues with rogue programs sending spam through the normal email servers. I only found this through the guided setup on the support page.ĪT&T has been rather indifferent to people wanting to use their own email client for a long time now (years at least). At least they should take down or mark as obsolete all of the prior pages that describe how to set up Outlook. ![]() ![]() ![]() This whole change to OAuth has been communicated VERY poorly by AT&T. And another strange thing: short emails (like a test message) go through more frequently than longer messages, or messages with attachments. The encryption issue seems to be on the sending side, as the error appears only when I'm trying to send an email. But that does not seem to be the problem. Without using the secure mail key as the password, I could not get Outlook to verify the login to the email server (, 993, SSL). I could only get it working at all if I used the secure mail key (which seems only to be a 16 character, all lower-case letter password that is assigned by AT&T).
