To confirm - you created and are successfully
accessing your at&t worldnet email account with the
Mail application - sending and receiving but what
does you are unable to get the .Mac mail web app to
retrieve from the same account?
Does this mean you set up retrieving messages sent
to/received by your at&t worldnet account via your
.Mac account via webmail access for your .Mac account
preferences?
What is your setting for removing messages from the
server when downloaded by Mail for your at&t worldnet
account which is available under the Advanced tab for
the account preferences?
If set to remove messages from the server when
downloaded by the Mail application, your .Mac account
cannot retrieve the same messages since the messages
were removed from the server.
If you want your .Mac account to receive messages
from your at&t worldnet account, there isn't any
reason to set up and access your at&t worldnet
account with Mail in addition to your .Mac account.
You can not remove messages from the server when
downloaded by Mail for your at&t worldnet account but
then you will receive duplicate messages with Mail -
one copy in the Inbox mailbox for your at&t worldnet
account and another copy in the Inbox mailbox for
your .Mac account.
Why not just access each account separately with Mail
and not have your .Mac account check and retrieve
messages from your at&t worldn't account?
That's what I've been trying but the same settings that work
for the desktop based app do not work on web based.
