Outgoing Mail

Is there an issue with the outgoing AT&T mail server? Sending of email fails with "The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) outbound.att.net was lost in the middle of the transaction"

Mine stopped working today too with a 554 error. Did you have any luck getting it to work?

Hey @jbickett, we're here to help with your email issue.


Based on the error message provided, are you able to verify that your overall internet connection is still working? If so, then you may want to double-check that you're using the correct email client settings. If you're unsure how to do this, and you happen to be using Outlook, Mac Mail, or Windows Mail, you can follow our email guide for step-by-step instructions on how to set up your email properly to ensure there's no configuration issues.

 

Let us know if this helps you.
Feel free to reach out to us anytime, thank you for reaching us on Community and Forums!
