Is at&t and yahoo mail the same
A common question!
While AT&T and Yahoo! Mail are two separate entities, they do have a connection. Here's the story:
In 2017, Verizon acquired Yahoo!'s core internet business, including Yahoo! Mail, for $4.48 billion. As part of the deal, Yahoo!'s email service, including Yahoo! Mail, was merged with AOL, another company Verizon acquired earlier.
In 2019, Verizon announced that it would be rebranding its consumer email services, including Yahoo! Mail, as "Rise" (now known as "AT&T Mail"). This move aimed to simplify its email offerings and provide a more unified experience across its various brands.
So, to answer your question:
- AT&T Mail is the rebranded version of Yahoo! Mail, which is now owned by Verizon (and previously by Yahoo!).
- While the service is now called AT&T Mail, it still uses the same infrastructure and technology as Yahoo! Mail.
- You can still access your Yahoo! Mail account using the same login credentials, and your email address will remain the same (e.g., [yourname]@yahoo.com).
In summary, AT&T Mail is the new name for Yahoo! Mail, but it's still the same service with the same features and functionality.
