Stop Spam and Subscription Clutter in Your AT&T Inbox
Setting up a custom AT&T email address is a great move—but over time, those inboxes can fill up with junk mail, spam, and endless newsletters. Clean Email makes it easy to manage this with Unsubscriber, a feature that lets you remove yourself from unwanted mailing lists—even those that don’t include an unsubscribe link.
For even more control, Clean Email’s Screener feature holds back emails from unknown senders until you approve them. That means fewer distractions, fewer risks, and less time spent sorting spam.
Some email clients only let you block spam once it arrives, but with Clean Email’s Block Sender option, you can make sure certain senders never reach your inbox again. It’s a true set-it-and-forget-it feature that keeps your inbox clean.
Add to that Cleaning Suggestions, which watches your habits and recommends easy cleanup actions based on what you tend to delete or archive. The more you use Clean Email, the smarter it gets—and your AT&T inbox stays clutter-free with almost no effort.
Useful Information to Remember
Desktop programs like Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail and mobile email apps use POP3 or IMAP to send and receive mail, so make sure you use the correct server and port settings. AT&T recommends apps with OAuth, such as Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad, Outlook Mobile, the Yahoo Mail app, and Gmail on Android.
The same servers work for older AT&T addresses too, such as @sbcglobal.net, @bellsouth.net, and @prodigy.net. Here’s the full list of supported domains:
- @ameritech.net
- @att.net
- @bellsouth.net
- @currently.com
- @flash.net
- @nvbell.net
- @pacbell.net
- @prodigy.net
- @sbcglobal.net
- @snet.net
- @swbell.net
- @wans.net
💡 Note: After AT&T’s email security upgrade, apps that don’t support OAuth only work with a 16-character secure mail key instead of your password. You may find more information about the security upgrade here. When setting up or updating your AT&T email, create a secure mail key.
Using Separate Apps on Several Devices
You will have to check each email app on each device if you access your AT&T email using different client applications on numerous devices. For example, on a laptop, you can use Outlook Mail, while on a smartphone, you can use Gmail, and on a tablet, you can use Apple Mail. You must use either an OAuth app or a secure mail key on each device, and AT&T gives each device its own key. Secure mail keys don’t expire, but AT&T deletes them if your account gets locked or blocked, so you’ll need to create new ones.
Subaccounts
If you add more than one AT&T address or subaccount to an email app, create a separate secure mail key for each of them.
Check email at currently.com
You can access your AT&T mailbox (previously att.net) at currently.com from a web browser using your regular password.

POP3 vs. IMAP: What's The Difference
POP3 and IMAP are two different ways to set up a mail address in a client application.
Even though they both allow you to connect to the mail server and access your emails using a client application, they still differ in that IMAP stores messages on the server rather than on a local device like a computer. POP3 mail, on the other hand, will attempt to establish a connection and store messages locally, whether on your computer or mobile.
As a result, most people still use IMAP as their email protocol of choice.
