Easy BellSouth Email Settings Process

Posted by Sophia Williams on October 22nd, 2019

BellSouth is a telecommunication company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The company was acquired by AT&T. However even after the merging, AT&T allowed users to keep their BellSouth email. The email has thus many active users. To use BellSouth email service seamlessly without any issues, users need to configure the email properly. If the configuration will be incorrect then the email can stop receiving and sending mails. Other issues can also occur. So to avoid this you need to follow the email setting process. If you don’t know the configuration process then no need to worry. In this blog, we will discuss the steps to configure BellSouth Email Settings. You can follow these steps and use Bellsouth without any hassles.
Usually the email configuration happens automatically like this:

Navigate to AT&T website.
Enter your BellSouth email address.
Enter the password and log in.
Once your account opens, go to the ‘Settings’ option.
Under settings you will find ‘Accounts’ option. Select it.
Now select ‘Add account’ option.
Tap the ‘Email’ option then.
