How do I set up my sbcglobal.net email accoint?

Set your email using other to set up email account. Follow these steps.

Settings

Mail Contacts and Calenders

Add mail account

Other

Add mail account

Name: Your name

Email: Your email

Password: Your email password

Description: Your email provider populates

When the next screen populates please enter and make sure POP3 is highlighted blue.

POP3

Incoming host name: mail.comcast.net

Username: Your full email address

Password: Your email password

Outgoing host name: smtp.comcast.net

And then next to verify account. If prompted further verification required, please go to Safari and go to your email page and sign into your email account.

If you need additional help, please let me know. I will not get off work until after 6 pm EST.

Thank you.

Could you first tell us what you tried and what trouble you are having?

So when you put in your email address and password and go through the setup does it work when you are done?

Under add Account try OTHER and not Yahoo. Enter your info and see if it works then.

when setting up sbcglobal.net or yahoo email acct set up email like this...guaranteed to work

select settings, then mail, contacts and calenders

add mail acct

select other

select add mail acct

enter name, full email address, email password

select next

make sure imap is highlighted in blue

incoming host name: imap.mail.yahoo.com

username: full email address

password: your email password

outgoing host name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com

username: full email address-even though it states optional

password: your email password-even though it states optional

select next

select save

it will never fail as I set up emails everyday all day long. Also since ios 6 yahoo server set up appears to not work correctly.

This worked for the sbcglobal.net accounts on iphone 5. My att.net accounts and other email acoounts were setup from backup and worked. The sbcglobal accounts did not work. I deleted them and added them back using your steps. I think you are correct about the IOS 6 yahoo server set up not working correctly. These accounts were fine on my previous Iphone. Thanks for the post.

With all due respect, your solution is not working.

And ATT's page listing the server settings for email accounts on mobile devices says these are POP3, not IMAP, accounts (as if I know the difference between the two)

Help?

respectfully,

Patrick

I agree with pcp I tryed kidz solution on my iphone 5 & I still am not able to setup my account. Any other suggestions?

I have an (Yahoo) sbcglobal.net email account through AT&T. I can send and receive emails on my Mac (desktop)... but can only send emails on my iPhone and iPad.

The simplest solution is to delete the account, then add it back.
