I've used YAHOO email for quite some time.

Even when I try accessing ATT email from my ATT service account website, it always opens YAHOO email instead.

I cannot access my ATT email at all.

That's because there is no AT&T mail service, just att.net email accounts. All att.net email is processed by Yahoo, who AT&T pays to provide that service.

If you log into your att.net account at currently.com you'll see this in the upper left corner, right?

thanks for the reply. I understand what you said, yet how do i access att.net email. All i see is my YAHOO.com mail account/mail in the mail box. ATT.net doesn't merge automatically to my yahoo account. I tried sending myself an ATT email, yet there is no where to find it

You log into your ATT.NET email (or any email tied to the old Bell system like pacbell.net, sbcglobal.net, bellsouth.net, etc) by going to www.currently.com.

Any email account that ends in @yahoo.com still uses www.yahoo.com to sign in.

You'll need to sign out of that email and then sign back in with the att.net account.

No matter which MAIL I click on, it ALWAYS opens YAHOO mail (When the cursor points at the Currently MAIL, it still shows where it directs to)

It doesn't sound like you tried what I suggested last time. Click where your name is in the upper right corner. Then click Sign Out from the box that pops up. Then sign back in with your att.net login info.

No, browsers set cookies and session states that stop you from doing that. One way to work around that is to open a different browser and log that one into the other account.
