Dear Rod,

Thank you for contacting AT&T Internet Services Email Support.

Rod, I want to apologize for the issues that you are currently experiencing with your AT&T Yahoo! Mail account. I will be more than happy to assist you with your issue.
..
To make sure that all of your issues will be addressed, I have outlined your concerns and provided their corresponding answers.
  1. Sent and Received files should remain on the server until I expressly delete them. This has been the practice for the past number years we have used AT&T email service.
..
Answer:

By default, your sent and received messages should stay inside your Inbox folder. However, regarding your sent messages, let us make sure that your AT&T Yahoo! Mail is set to save your sent messages. Kindly verify the following:
    ..
  1. Sign in to your AT&T Yahoo! Mail page.
  2. Once inside your email page, click [Options] or [Mail Options] located on the upper-right hand corner.
  3. Go to [General Preferences].
  4. Under [Folders/Search Results], make sure that the [Save your sent messages in the Sent Items folder] box is checked.
  5. Click [Save].
..
As for your received messages, the only reason why your messages are being deleted inside your Inbox folder is if it is being downloaded by an email client. In case you have an email client installed in your computer(s), kindly check it and see if your messages are inside.
..
Also, we need to make sure that AT&T Yahoo! Mail is your default email program. Since you are using Internet Explorer, we need to download a small program so that you will be able to select [AT&T Yahoo! Mail] as your default email program inside your Internet Options window. To download the program, kindly visit this website:

http://help.yahoo.com/help/uk/mail/ext/ext-11.html
..
After downloading the program, please follow these steps on how to set AT&T Yahoo! as your default email program:
  1. Launch Internet Explorer.
  2. Click [Tools].
  3. Go to [Internet Options].
  4. Click the [Programs] tab.
  5. Under [Email], select [Yahoo! Mail].
  6. Click [Apply] and then click [OK].
..
By doing this, we will be sure that no email clients will open when you access your AT&T Yahoo! Web Mail.
..
2. Time should be displayed along with the date for sent and received documents.
..
Answer:

By default, the date and time are displayed once you open the messages. Kindly open the message and then you will see the needed information inside [Date:].
..
3. Email address should be displayed for addresses of sent mail, and for people from whom mail is received.
..
Answer:

If the contact contains a nickname, it will be the one displayed under [To:] inside your Sent folder. However, if it does not have a nickname, its email address will be the one displayed under [To:].
..
4. Document identification header should not be corrupted with extraneous fields. From, To, Subject Date are all we need.
..
Answer:

Normally, if you received a message with garbled header, the message could be spam. Please click the [Spam] button in order to add the sender inside your blocked addresses list. However, if the email comes from one of your legitimate contacts or sender, it is possible that the Yahoo! server has marked this sender as spammer. We need to take care of this issue over the phone together with one of our helpdesk technical support specialists.
..
5. Spell check does not seem to be working. Would like this set as a default.
..
Answer:

Unfortunately, the Spell Check feature of your AT&T Yahoo! Mail is not capable of automatically checking for misspelled words. After composing your email, you will need to manually click the [ABC] button to enable Spell Check to underline misspelled words.
..
This should take care of your issue. In case you need further assistance, especially with regard to Question numbers 1 and 4, please do not hesitate to call us anytime at 1-877-722-3755. We will be more than glad to assist you. Please take note of Case ID 134100748 for future reference.
