emails wont come into outlook

[hawkeye helicopter]

Our internet provider is ATT. we have tried several times to get our emails
to come into outlook. They show up in the ATT Yahoo site, but if we receive
an email with an attachment to it and open it up and then try to send it to
someone else. They recieve the email ok but you have to go to outlook to see
if it is sent or not. ATT page will not show any sent emails. This is
diffucult having to have two email sites up to do your work. We have tried to
uninstall and then install outlook. We are using Vista

Sent Items in Outlook cannot be transmitted to the Yahoo server (except by
you forwarding them as messages to yourself). POP/SMTP protocols have no
concept of "folders".

The 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' service uses the POP3 protocol; email doesn't "come",
it is retrieved from the server by the client (MS Outlook).

When you get the email into Outlook, and then forward on to another person,
it is sent from the client, not from the web site. So, no, you will not see
that it was sent by looking at the "Sent" folder on the web site. It will
only show in the "Sent" folder of the client.

There is the email service, provided for AT&T by Yahoo!. It has one site.

There is the client (MS Outlook), provided to you by whomever set up your
computer. It is not a "site", but an application running on your computer.

POP3, the protocol used to fetch the email from the Yahoo! server, brings
the email from the site to the client, where it is stored, locally, on the
computer hard disk. Forwarded email is then sent from the client, using the
SMTP protocol. The SMTP message submission server is not a site, either. It
just does one thing: Relays email from your client to another email server.

Not everything about the Internet is, "Web".
