Currently + Clean Email = Perfect Inbox Balance
Currently’s sleek, private email setup is already great—but pair it with Clean Email, and your inbox becomes truly effortless. Start with Smart Folders, which group emails into types like “Subscriptions,” “Finance,” or “Social.” It helps you focus on the stuff that matters, while cleaning up the rest quickly.
Using Unsubscriber, you can easily manage every subscription in one place—even the ones without visible unsubscribe links. Just click, unsubscribe, and enjoy a less cluttered inbox. Clean Email even blocks the sender afterward, just in case.
The Screener feature takes it a step further by filtering out emails from new or unknown senders before they hit your inbox. You decide who gets in, and who gets ignored—simple and effective.
Want to make email cleanup even faster? Enable Cleaning Suggestions, and Clean Email will offer personalized recommendations based on your behavior. You don’t even have to think about what to delete—it tells you.
Additional Notes to Remember
Currently.com is also AT&T’s homepage. To read your email in a web browser, go to https://currently.att.yahoo.com, sign in, and select Mail.
💡 Note: In this guide, you will discover what secure mail keys are. If your email app doesn’t use Open Authentication (OAuth), AT&T only lets it connect with a 16-character secure mail key, and you need a separate key for each email address.

POP3 vs. IMAP: What's The Difference
Two alternative methods for configuring a mail address in a client application are IMAP and POP3.
With IMAP or Internet Message Access Protocol, you may use any device to access your emails from anywhere. When utilizing IMAP, you read a message from the email provider rather than downloading or saving it on your computer. Consequently, you may access your emails from various devices and locations throughout the globe, including your phone, a laptop, and a friend's PC.
Post Office Protocol 3, or POP3, downloads emails from the server to one device, where you read them. It’s supported by most email servers and clients, but changes you make on one device (such as reading or deleting a message) aren’t synced to your other devices. The "3" in its name indicates the protocol’s third version.
The two are different because IMAP saves messages on the server rather than a local device like a PC, even though they let you connect to the mail server and read your emails via a client program. On the other hand, POP3 mail will make an effort to connect and store messages locally, whether on your PC or a mobile device. POP3 transfers email from a server to one machine before erasing it from the server. IMAP, on the other hand, synchronizes the message across many devices and saves it on a server.
As a result, IMAP is still the preferred email protocol for most users.
