Account migration can be accomplished from here
--> this procedure must be done using IE v.5 or higher <--
The purpose of this procedure is to provide for 
account transfer without adding software to the computer.
This is important for members whose computer might
not meet minimum configuration for the SBC software.
Members using this method of account transfer are
responsible for configuring their clients and DUN. Help
is available at the newsgroup and message board links
below.

THE SETTINGS

manually fixed settings for Prodigy transitions are below
(If your domain is not 'prodigy', but is 'flash', 'swbell' or
another SBC ISP domain, change 'prodigy' to your domain)
NOTE: All domains now use the same server settings when migrated...

POP3 Server = pop.att.yahoo.com
SSL enabled - Port: 995

SMTP Server = smtp.att.yahoo.com
SSL enabled - Port: 465

Both require the same username/password.
Username = membername%prodigy.net
Password = password for that email account

Primary DNS server =  151.164.1.8
Secondary DNS server = 206.13.28.12
