Answer 1

It seems that you are skipping to set the configuration settings of your accounts. Please set all configuration settings  in your accounts. Configuration Settings of pacbell.net , gmail and snet.net as shown below.

1. pacbell.net

- Server: outbound.att.net.

- Port: 993 or 143.

- Username: Your full email address.

- Password: Your password.

2. gmail.com

- Incoming Server Hostname: imap.gmail.com.

- Port: 993. 

- SSL: SSL/TLS.

- Authentication: Normal Password.

- Outgoing Server Hostname: smtp.gmail.com.

- Port: 465.

- SSL: SSL/TLS.

- Authentication: Normal Password.

3. snet.net

- Server Name = mail.bellsouth.net, or use the one in your email address (AT&T has many different domains)

- Port = 25 or 100 (This was supplied by my ISP/Mail)

- User Name and Password = Unchecked.
