ATTBI.com to COMCAST.net : Manual Instructions for Transitioning Customers
E-mail Settings:
1. POP3 (Incoming Mail) Server: mail.comcast.net
2. SMTP (Outgoing Mail) Server: smtp.comcast.net
3. Your E-Mail address: e-mail ID@comcast.net
I didn't use the transition wizard and my email from attbi.com has is now being forwarded to comcast.net!

So after all the dire warnings, if you choose to do nothing and not run the transition wizard, your email still gets forwarded from attbi.com to comcast.net.

I didn't do anything this morning and logged onto attbi.com. I was automatically transferred to comcast.net. All my old attbi.com email was there and new mail that was sent to me at my old attbi.com address showed up in my new comcast.net mailbox.

It was a lot simpler than we were lead to believe.

Next up, I'll go into my Macintosh OS X Mail application and change my settings as outlined above.

I guess I'm not surprised that the only directions they provide for Macintosh are for Outlook Express. If they had read any of my emails and understood themm, they'd have put in instructions for Microsoft Entourage and all the other Mac OS X mail apps.

Sigh.

Maybe you can just put them in the comments on this post.

Thanks.
