I agree with you regarding Yahoo news.

I just remembered, the Portuguese consulate in San Francisco will not accept any att.net emails. Only Gmail, they said it was due to the security reasons? Anybody know why? Besides just a statement security issues, Thatā€™s why I recently opened up a new Gmail account. Other than that I close all my other accounts.

If you are using Windows you more than likely can access your AT&T email using a free email client like Thunderbird, which is made by Mozilla, the same company that makes Firefox. I use it. Have 13 different email addresses in there from various providers.

I understand what youā€™re saying because Iā€™ve seen people using the Yahoo Mail app to access their AT&T mail. My neighbors did that. Have also seen them going to the Yahoo website and logging in that way. I donā€™t know what operating system weā€™re talking about, or even whether or not youā€™re talking about a mobile phone, but there are other ways to access the AT&T mail other than through Yahoo. Which was pretty much the standard way a while back.

I use Free Proton mail for a few years and have set it up so that all my google emails go to that inbox as well. Not that it really matters much.

Yeah I use Android on tablet.

Did your tablet happen to come with Microsoft Outlook? You could use that for your email client.

I use the yahoo client to access my att, hotmail, and outlook email as well. I use gmail client for all my gmail email accounts. I have different email addresses for different purposes.

Iā€™ve been doing that for years with Gmail. I run my Gmail through outlook as I donā€™t like the functionality of native Gmail

No, to be honest with you I donā€™t like Gmail and I donā€™t like any kind of third party connected to my emails just My style. Iā€™m not that technology enough to keep myself out of trouble so I keep simple stuff.

Alright then. I donā€™t know how gmail ties into this, maybe it was just an off the cuff statement, but you donā€™t have to have gmail to use Outlook.

Yes I know, Iā€™ve used Outlook in the past, years ago, I just kind of made a statement about my email address and it just kind of got away from me LOL. I like to keep my email address and just add Gmail to the end of it however I couldnā€™t do that without adding three or four numbers to it because everybody else has used it. I also have several folders and subfolders on my email account.
Now what was Troy saying about search engines? LOL

I just understood that you wanted to access your AT&T email without having to go through Yahoo to do so. Outlook would let you do that. If you define third party as simply an email client then youā€™re pretty much already doing that by using a Yahoo app to access an AT&T email. Iā€™ll shut up now since itā€™s off topic as you pointed out, lol. Have a good weekend!

I purchased the 2007 microsoft suite for my Windows desktop. Lol, I know its really old. Will need to purchase something new soon. No more updates after 2025 on my HP desktop due to age.

@Mslea a few years ago I was able to get the whole Microsoft Office suite including outlook for $29.99 from Stack Social. I am signed up for their daily email and every so often they run specials like this. Totally legit license. No idea how they can sell this low but Iā€™ve had it on my travel PC for a few years now and no problem. I get all the MS updates and such
