The enemy of good is better and the appended message didnot work with
Entourage. I finally got it working by making the following changes:
Changed POP to
pop.att.yahoo.com
with first option checked for SSL and 995 typed in the port. The 2nd box
was not typed but the port "995" has to be typed in.
Changed SMTP to
smtp.att.yahoo.com
with all three options checked an used port 465

Email security enhancements ‹ action required
Dear AT&T Yahoo! Member,
We're making some security improvements to your AT&T Yahoo! service.
These changes will affect members who send or receive email from a
desktop or mobile client program, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft
Outlook Express, Eudora, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird.
To help us ensure the security of your email, you will need to change
the settings on your desktop or mobile email client program. Please
choose one of the three options:
Make the Changes Automatically: To automatically make the required
changes to Outlook Express, use the AT&T Self Support Tool.
If you already have the AT&T Self Support Tool installed on your
computer, simply select Cannot send/receive email from the Self Support
Tool Main Interface to run an email settings check. When prompted to
change your email settings, select Yes.
If you do not have the AT&T Self Support Tool installed, download it
<http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=3910> and then follow the
instructions above.
Make the Changes Manually: To manually make the required setting changes
in Outlook and Outlook Express, please view the detailed instructions
here <http://help.sbcglobal.net/article.php?item=285> .
Alternatively, you may take the following steps to change the settings
on your desktop or mobile email client program:
Open your email client program.
Locate the email account settings for your particular client.
Change the POP server to pop.att.yahoo.com.
Change the SMTP server to smtp.att.yahoo.com.
Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change
the SMTP port to 465.
Check the option labeled Use an encrypted connection (SSL) and change
the POP3 port to 995.
Confirm the above settings then click OK.
The web-based version of AT&T Yahoo! Mail is not affected by these
changes and will continue to be available at http://mail.yahoo.com.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
AT&T Yahoo! Customer Care
