We're here to help you get back into your email, @ridarri.

If you're having issues getting connected via web browser, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to fix this problem.

WebMail and Features Troubleshooting

• Clear Cache and Cookies- The most common fix

• Update Your Browser- many features are only compatible with the latest browser and we recommend updating it

• Test signing in to your webmail using another browser

• Disable browser tools or add-ons - varies by device and browser

• Disable your firewall -varies by device and browser

It's also best to make sure that you're using a supported browser for the best sign on experience. If you're still having issues after that, then you can also try performing a password reset and waiting up to 24 hours for your information to resync. You can do so by following these steps:

1. Go to att.com/myatt.
2. Select Forgot password?
3. Fill out the password info.
4. Choose security questions or temporary password and follow the prompts. If you choose a temporary password, we’ll let you know where we sent it.
5. Create your new password.

Let us know how these solutions work for you!

I attempted to sign into my email account yesterday morning, 4-29-2022. I got caught in the repeated loop. I sign in and it brings up the sign in box again; repeats this process continuously. Before I signed out 4-28, I tried to reply to an email and it wouldn’t let me reply? I have bellsouth.net email.

I shut down & restarted my computer. I have tried using Edge, Chrome and Firefox. Made no difference, I am still caught in this repeated loop. Got my PC first week of March 2022, so nothing really to clear and have no previous issues.

This morning, 4-30-2022, I tried to sign in again and I got a message saying “currently.att.yahoo.com refused to connect”. I can connect to other internet sites on my device, but not AT&T email.

It sounds like I'm not alone. Beginning yesterday when I attempt to sign in either to my Yahoo email or to att.com (from my desktop), the following happens: (1) I get the usual sign in screen. I enter the correct info and press "sign in." (2) I'm taken to another screen which asks me to sign in using my Yahoo account and tells me to choose an account (there's only one choice). I choose it and hit "Next." (3) The screen goes blank except for a "redirecting" notice. (4) An ATT loading screen (black with logo and progress bar) appears for a couple of seconds, followed by the "redirecting" screen, then the loading screen and so on endlessly.

Multiple attempts to contact "Customer Care" (hah!) by phone result in either being sent to a number which says I must pay for support or to another number which says I must contact my wireless provider. My wireless provider has nothing to do with this. They're not AT&T, thank goodness, and can do nothing about att.com. And yes, I cleared caches, tried multiple browsers, tried multiple devices including my phone, and reset my password.

Incidentally, the same thing happens when I go to the att.com website and click on the support link or any account-related link. Only this time the loop runs once or twice. Then an "Oops!" screen appears and tells me to sign out and sign back in. I am so @#$%&^$ frustrated!
