I lost my email access on both my iPad and iPhone. Can retrieve it on my iPad, through currently.com, which is unwieldy; but not on iPhone. I’m really upset because I’ve been happy with your service until now.

On 4/22/21, incoming/outgoing mail abruptly stopped working on my iPhone and iPad. Settings have not changed from the ones specified above. I can still access webmail, but I'm migrating all of my email to other accounts due to lack of support for these issues. Customer support clueless.

Yesterday at 10 AM incoming emails would not download to both Outlook on my desktop and onto my iPhone. They worked just a few minutes prior. I could still log in through a web browser using the same credentials. None of the Help personnel had a clue. what was changed on the server end to make this happen. Oddly, the outgoing mail server still connects and works properly.

The incoming server you have is incorrect. There should be a “L” at the end of “mai”. It should be: imap.mail.att.net
