How to Set Up AT&T Email Account on Outlook?

There has been a lot of confusion among users since the news broke out about the merging of AT&T email last year. Both AT&T and Yahoo Mail users were confused as from where to seek assistance for their concerns and queries. Well, the good news is that AT&T has finally separated the merge and now Yahoo Mail and AT&T Mail users will need to access and manage their accounts individually. For example, if you wish to access your AT&T email account through an email program like Microsoft Outlook, you will need to configure your AT&T email account on Outlook using the email settings of AT&T and not Yahoo Mail. The email settings for the configuration of AT&T email on Outlook are as follows.
