AT&T supports IMAP / SMTP

This means you don't have to use AT&T's webmail interface! You can check your email and send messages using other email programs (like Mailspring, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Mozilla Thunderbird). Using desktop email applications can improve your workflow. They typically offer more options, and your email is still available on your computer when you're disconnected from the internet.

Setup Your AT&T Account with Your Email Program Using IMAP

To access your AT&T email account from a desktop email program, you'll need the IMAP and SMTP settings below:

swbell.net (AT&T) IMAP Server outbound.att.net
IMAP port993 or 143
IMAP securitySSL / TLS

IMAP passwordYour AT&T password
swbell.net (AT&T) SMTP Server outbound.att.net
