SBCGLOBAL garbled email

I set up a password key for my sbcglobal email because my password only worked on my cell phone and currently, not on my laptop with windows 10. I was then able to set up the account on my laptop but now the emails are unreadable. Just symbols and letters.

Hi @Bbf623

 

We understand that you are having trouble checking your emails. Let's get you the assistance you require.

 

We recommend you to create a secure mail key from your mobile device, tablet, or computer. Have your User ID and password ready to sign in to myAT&T. 

  1. Go to your myAT&T Profile. Sign in, if asked.
  2. Scroll to My linked accounts, select the email account that needs a secure mail key.
  3. Scroll to Secure mail key, select Manage secure mail key.
  4. Choose the email address that you’d like to use, if you have more than one.
  5. Select Add secure mail key. Enter a nickname for the secure mail key to make it easy to recognize.
  6. Choose Create secure mail key.
  7. Select Copy secure mail key to clipboard. Make a note of your secure mail key  for further updates.
    • For security purposes, the secure mail key only displays until you select OK
    • If you lose or forget the secure mail key, you can always create new secure mail keys.
  8. Select OK.
  9. Go to your preferred email app, replace the existing password with your secure mail key. For an IMAP account, delete the existing password for both the IMAP and SMTP servers. Replace them with your secure mail key.

For more information please visit our article about secure mail key

I had already tried a key but it didn't fix the issue.
