I do understand and appreciate the spot the service reps are in when their scope of support is limited to webmail now. I consider myself knowledgeable in this area as a former employee and instructor, but honestly, when all of the previous settings I was aware of failed to work in Outlook, as they used to, I just stopped using my att.net email account for the most part, and just had it forwarded to gmail from my AT&T webmail account. Once it was handed over to ConnectTech however, the ball is in their court to maintain and service.
When it was supported, it forced the AT&T support reps to maintain proficiency in these changes. The confusion with AT&T and Yahoo has created quite a bit of drama over the years, especially after free email client support was stopped. After the merger with SBC, since they used Yahoo servers, we had to do a migration. When I was with Bellsouth, formerly, it was fairly simple to configure since we used our own servers. There has always been some confusion in the setup and it seems that just about the time we have everything worked out something changes either at Yahoo or AT&T, and we, and the email clients we're using, get confused. Your settings however work, and thank-you for posting them. I know this is a little old now, but in my case, none of the previous settings were working in Outlook 365 for the Mac.
