How to Set Up a SBC Global Email in Outlook
SBC Global was an AT&T acquisition, but users are still able to connect to email using Outlook. Although SBC Global users still have the old domain extension, the new system allows users to configure their favorite email client to retrieve messages. Setting up an email client only takes a few steps in the configuration manager for the email account. Since so many people use Microsoft Outlook, it's a good application to use to retrieve SBCGlobal.net email.
