AT&T Email Not Working or Not Able to Load the Login Page:
- Well, this kind of problem mainly arises when the server of AT&T communication is down. So, instead of making changes to your SBC global email account settings, what you need to do is check “Is the server of AT&T website down” for everybody, or is it only you?

- To do so, go to the website and search your website name from its search/check bar and that’s it! It will then tell you whether the AT&T server is down for everybody or not. If it is down for everyone, then you can resolve your email login problem by using another server.
