[mdlug] AT&T Email Invalid User/Password

[Peter Bart]

Good Morning,
	I have AT&T as my DSL provider at home and have an @sbcglobal.net email
that shares the same password as my domain that AT&T is hosting. The
password sharing is their idea, not mine. Under that main account I have
several sub accounts. Lately, I have been getting the invalid
user/password error accessing my main account and the domain email
account. All the sub accounts are able to retrieve their email with the
same email clients, Evolution and Claws. I have had the passwords reset,
then changed by myself several times. That's getting to be serious pita,
because I have several devices that retrieve email and the modem shares
the main account password as well. Once again, their idea. I think I've
narrowed it down to me having more than one email client/device trying
to access the same email account at once. Tech support is trying to sell
me the "it's a feature not a bug" idea. I'm not buying. I've more or
less retired my main email account, using it only one one machine and
only to manage the sub accounts. That's been replaced with a sub
account. That works for me. But even trying to access
@petertheplumber.net from multiple devices; at the same time; creates
this error.
	Before I simply move my domain away from AT&T; where it's parked; to
solve this problem, has anyone else had this problem?
