The directions appear to be inaccurate on Mail App iphone iOS 12.4.1. Is this directions for desktop Apple Mail Mac OS X Mojave 10.14.6?

There has never appeared on iphone mail preferences. 

Second these are @sbcglobal. Or has everything (mail, contacts, calendar) been migrated to @att.net?

Third, there is no direction on how to get secure key or Open Authentication. 

Fourth, what is needed is comprehensive step by step comprehensive and detailed steps to replicate set up. — iphone, mac, Android, Windows. 

Sign me confused.

Is @sbcglobal no longer used for email, contacts and calendar? Now use @attt.net?

Hey @dalece, we hear you, we want to help clear things up.

To answer your question, SBCGlobal email addresses with the @sbcglobal.net domain are still functional, but they are now part of the AT&T brand. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Email Addresses:
• Existing SBCGlobal email addresses continue to work, and you can still send and receive emails using them.
• However, AT&T encourages users to create new AT&T Mail accounts at Currently.com. These new accounts will have the @att.net domain.
• If you prefer to stick with your existing SBCGlobal address, you can continue using it.
2. Contacts and Calendar:
• Contacts and calendar data associated with your SBCGlobal account should remain accessible.
• If you decide to create a new AT&T Mail account, you can import your existing contacts and calendar events into the new account.
3. Transitioning:
• There isn’t an automatic migration from SBCGlobal to AT&T Mail. Users need to manually set up new accounts if they choose to do so.

In summary, both @sbcglobal.net and @att.net addresses are still in use, but AT&T recommends creating new accounts with the latter domain. Choose the option that best suits your needs!

Let us know if this helps!

Thank you Bruce.

1. As I understand both SBCGlobal and ATT are at currently.com. No longer need to go to yahoo.com. 

2. Ok so Contacts and calendars remain accessible under either domain. But they do not sync with Apple Mail Mac OS desktop (Mojave 10.14.6) and Mail iPhone iOS (12.4.1). Normally I set up new email yahoo, gmail, etc and and just check the boxes of what I want to sinc with Apple apps. Email, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders, etc. 

Appears this does not work currently.com. 

INSTRUCTIONS NEEDED to sync. 

3. INSTRUCTIONS NEEDED to Transition SBCGlobal to ATT - Email, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders, etc.
