Have you had any luck with this yet? I cant find anything definitive.  

Any luck with AT&T.net and Outlook 2011 for mac? If you do, please let me know. Thanks!!! {Personal content removed for safety}

I think I have it working now.  I'm not a tech person so I don't understand all of the port and server configure stuff.  I had to delete the email configuration several times and start over for it to work properly.  I used the same yahoo server settings and ports that I listed in my original post.  I hope that helps.

I can send, but not receive now..  Are you having any luck?

Yes, I am having the same exact problem with Outlook for MAC 2011. I can send, but not receive. I've talked to my web hosting company and also to AT&T, using the same settings in the original post.

Still no luck

I'm experiencing the same problem with configuring an swbell.net account on 2011 Outlook for Mac.  AT&T chat could only provide the POP, SMTP and port numbers and then directed me to Connect Tech for additional assistance for a cost.  I have added my account the same way numerous times with various results.  The most commom error is An unknown error has occurred in Outlook.  So where do we go for help in resolving this problem?  Any help would be appreciated. 

Its disgusting. ATT nesses up their server address once again to promote earnings for connect-tech.
