    If it works sometimes but not others my first guess would be you need to call AT&T support.   Maybe the mail servers you are using are currently haveing problems.

    If sometimes it works and sometimes it does not work, that is almost always an issue on the mail provider's side. A common cause is maintenance being performed on the mail provider's system or servers. I would be patient and see if the issue goes away within 12 hours or so. If not, you should contact the mail provider.
