Why do some wrongly assume that people are using a stupid cell phone check their email when millions of us are using a Windows Desktop PC computer? After 14 years with no problems with Outlook out of the blue there are recent problems trying to receive emails with AT&T/Yahoo email and I strongly suspect the problem is Yahoo yet nobody has any answers however AT&T said they have been getting thousands of calls with the exact same complaints as me and they suspect the problem is with Yahoo Server yet the idiots at Yahoo have no direct contact info with a real human being which means it's time to dump them!

I have received two notices via my email indicating that if I ignore my email will be closed down. It is signed Customer Service email #1009. One is from AT-T Mail and the other from AT-T Yahoo Mail...

I did an upgrade but now my ATT Yahoo email will not allow me to send, delete messages or get access to my contacts.

You may have been tricked into visiting a phishing website. Try contacting ATT for help.
