If you’re damn scared of losing your sensitive email data, AT&T could be your lifesaver especially for its security toolbox which packs built-in antivirus and effective spam filters.
Basically, this post guides you on how to sign into your AT&T email account. Importantly however, the post majorly revolves around unmerging Yahoo Mail from AT&T.
This is because –as a Yahoo Mail user who finds it awkward to use a combined account for AT&T and Yahoo Mail –you may want to find out how you can disengage your Yahoo Mail and AT&T accounts from each other.
Easy Steps for Signing in to AT&T Email Account

Identifying if AT&T Email and Yahoo Mail Are Still Together
It’s no longer news that AT&T and Yahoo are no longer in merger. With this, many people have successfully disengaged their Yahoo accounts from AT&T, meaning they can now access Yahoo Mail without any interference from AT&T features.
If you’re one of the Yahoo Mail users with merged accounts at the time AT&T and Yahoo were in merger, you may want to know if your Yahoo Mail account is still merged with AT&T.
Below are the things you’ll notice –or may have noticed –provided your AT&T and Yahoo Mail accounts are still together:
- You can login to your Yahoo Mail account using your AT&T login details
- You get redirected to MY AT&T when you try to enter Yahoo
- When you change the password of one account (AT&T or Yahoo Mail), the change reflects on the other account
- When you supply your Yahoo e-mail address for AT&T login, the attempt becomes successful
- Your AT&T account password is the same as your Yahoo Mail password
- Mail and messages are sent to you for both AT&T and Yahoo Mail
How to Separate AT&T and Yahoo Email Accounts from Each Other
Separating AT&T from Yahoo Mail is what you’ll likely want to do if you’re a long-standing Yahoo Mail user who can barely tolerate having a merged account for Yahoo Mail and AT&T. Below are the easy steps for separating your Yahoo Mail account from AT&T:
- Head over to Google within your smartphone browser
- Input the official website link of AT&T in Google’s search bar
- After making your way to the AT&T website, you’ll have to log in to AT&T email account
- To do that, simply navigate to the Sign-in page of the account
- Your AT&T account is tagged “MY ATT”. Input the necessary details; User ID and password; in order to sign in to the account
- After the sign-in, look under MY ATT and choose the Profile option
- Subsequently, you’ll also have to choose the Account Profile option under AT&T Email Accounts
- From the tabs that emerge, select the User Information tab and then, click the Delete Account option
- With that done, the next thing that appears (after a while) is a Delete Email confirmation box
- Click the OK button to confirm your intention
Completing the steps above is only the first phase of the account separation process. For the second phase, which lets you completely “unmerge” Yahoo Mail from AT&T, below are the steps you should follow:
- Input Yahoo sign-in link in the Google search bar of your browser
- After making your way to the Yahoo sign-in page, supply the required credentials; user ID and password; for logging in to your Yahoo account
- Select the Sign-in button after supplying the login credentials
- Now that you’re logged in to Yahoo Mail, you can opt to fully separate your Yahoo Mail account from AT&T
- To do that, scroll down the right-hand corner of the Yahoo page and tap the Unmerge button
Hopefully, the steps above will prove successful in helping you unmerge Yahoo Mail from AT&T. But if things don’t pan out as expected, your last resort is to seek the assistance of Yahoo and SBCGlobal.net’s technical team.
Why Would Users Want to Separate Yahoo Mail from AT&T?
Previously, AT&T and Yahoo were together and this made it possible for a user of the two email services to have a single account for them. This merger (of Yahoo Mail and AT&T) might have delighted some users but unfortunately, it was reported that the merger didn’t sit well with many long-standing users of Yahoo Mail.
Such users are, perhaps, individuals so strongly accustomed to Yahoo Mail that the sight of AT&T logo (or other AT&T features) on the Yahoo page tends to upset them. The merger, for instance, integrated the features of Yahoo Mail and AT&T into a single page. While this integration happens to have disrupted the satisfactory experience users would normally get with the Yahoo-only page, unmerging Yahoo Mail from AT&T is likely the best bet for bringing back that experience.
Conclusion
This post, on the one hand, must have walked you through the steps for signing in to your AT&T email account and on the other hand, it must have guided you on how to unmerge Yahoo Mail from AT&T.
But if you’re still struggling to log in to your AT&T email account, we suggest you use an updated browser (provided your current browser is outdated), deactivate any ad-blocker in the browser or simply try the AT&T mobile app.
