I have not had an account with att in years. My email is with sbcglobal. I am not sure why I am getting this error message.

FYI ... SBCglobal merged with AT&T back in 2005 ... so technically, you do have an AT&T email account, thus the error message. One quick way to tell is to enter your "SBCglobal" email address into the following article's link to see what IMAP & SMTP servers are used by your email account: Mail Settings Lookup - Apple Support

No. It happened once before and I was somehow able to fix it (but cannot remember how) I have not had an account with att in years. My email is with sbcglobal. I am not sure why I am getting this error message. Thanks

I went to my iphone settings and was asked for the imap password. I put it in and all my mail loaded. Then, it told me my password was incorrect so I entered it again..... go figure. At least I got my mail loaded. Thank you
