HowTo Make a Bellsouth Email
By Matthew Fortuna
AT&T South, the southern U.S. branch of the massive AT&T telecommunications company, was formally known and is often still referred to as BellSouth. Setting up a BellSouth email account requires that you are a customer and subscriber and have purchased its internet services. Making a BellSouth email account can be set up with any kind of email provider, including Express, Vista and Outlook, and can be done by entering your personal BellSouth account information.
Step 1
Find the "Set Up a Mail Account" tab in your e-mail provider.
Step 2
Type the name you would like to display when using your BellSouth email address into the tab labeled "Display Name."
Step 3
Click "Next" and enter the email address that was assigned to you or that you created after changing your assigned name, into the tab labeled "E-mail address." This e-mail will be your e-mail name followed by "@bellsouth.net."
Step 4
Select "Next" and choose "POP3" as the incoming mail server.
Step 5
Enter "mail.bellsouth.net" into both the incoming and outgoing mail-server fields.
Click "Next," and enter your display name again into the "Account Name" field and enter a password. Click "Next" and "Finish" and your BellSouth e-mail account will be setup.
