AT&T e-mail switch arrives.
Today's Boston Herald article on the ATT to Comcast email transition has got to be the most inacurate newspaper article I've ever read in my whole life!
However, if a customer hasn't downloaded the Transition Wizard program, there's no need to panic - yet.
This makes no sense at all. Why would the reporter imply there is a need to panic in the future?
All e-mail messages sent to the old attbi.com will be saved until the transition to comcast.net is completed.
Again, makes no sense. The emails are now being forwarded to the new comcast.net account.
However, she says, there may be some extra steps for those who use non-Windows and non-Mac browsers and e-mail systems such as Netscape and Eudora. Those users may need to take extra ``manual steps'' to download Transition Wizard, said Khoury, who expressed confidence the transition will go well today.
She has no idea what she is talking about. It's unbelievable to me how a spokesperson for Comcast can explain that you need to download hte Transition Wizard for Eudora and Netscape. Those users need to follow the manual instructions.
