ISSUE
Starting in September 2018 some AT&T users with AT&T accounts found that email stopped syncing. This issue is caused by a change in the AT&T service. Please contact AT&T to report this issue and ask that it be investigated further.
STATUS: FIXED
As of November 2018 AT&T has confirmed that the issue is fixed.
Workaround:
For most affected users renaming or removing folders under the Inbox mitigates the issue.
Method 1: Rename folders (recommended method)
- Open AT&T and make note which folders are under the Inbox
- Close AT&T
- Go to https://www.AT&T.com and log into web mail
- Rename each folder under the Inbox folder (e.g. for a folder named “Recipes” rename it to “Recipes1”)
- Launch AT&T, allow a few minutes to allow sync to complete before confirming if the issue is now resolved
Method 2: Create new folders and move mail
- Open AT&T and make note which folders are under the Inbox
- Close AT&T
- Go to https://www.AT&T.com and log into web mail
- Create one or more new folders and move the email that is under the Inbox folder to these folders
- Make sure you get all your email moved before removing the old folders. After deleting the folders, the email that was in them may not be recoverable.
- In web mail delete the folders that are listed under the Inbox in AT&T
- Launch AT&T, allow a few minutes to allow sync to complete before confirming if the issue is now resolved
