Solutions for fix Bellsouth email not working issue
Solution 1: To create a secure app key, follow the steps below.

As a result, the following steps should be followed to resolve the issue.
• Begin by logging into your Bellsouth email account (xyz@bellsouth.net) using the AT&T email login page. Select the “Sign-in Info” option from your email account’s dashboard.
• Choose the email account you wish to establish a secure app key for.
• On the Secure Mail Key page, scroll down to “Manage Secure Mail Key.”
• In the drop-down menu, select “Add Secure Mail key”.
• Click the “Generate” or “Create secure mail key” button on the email program you’re using to access your Bellsouth account.
• Password or key will be shown.

Solution 2: Double-check that your account is set up correctly.
A misconfigured Bellsouth email account might be the cause of your inability to access email using Outlook. To fix this, you need to identify the issue and fix it by following the below steps.
There are a few small adjustments you’ll need to make if you already have an account with BellSouth. Follow these procedures to add a BellSouth account to Outlook:
• Go to File > Add Account in Outlook.
• Click Next after selecting Manual configuration or other server types.
• Click Next after selecting POP or IMAP.
• Next, you’ll need to enter the server’s information. Use inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net as the Incoming and Outgoing servers for your POP3 account if you’re using one. After entering your login credentials, click More Settings. In the Advanced tab, set Incoming Server Port Number to 995. It is recommended that the incoming server port be changed to 465.
• The changes made should be saved when they are made. The Incoming and Outgoing servers for an IMAP account are imap.mail.att.net (incoming) and SMTP (outgoing) (respectively). The incoming server number is 993, outgoing server number is 465 or 587.
After setting your account, the problem should be addressed, and everything should start working correctly.

Your Bellsouth email account will not operate if you input incorrect login credentials. Ensure you are using the right login credentials by double-checking your BellSouth email ID and password.
Be sure to type them carefully and accurately to prevent embarrassing errors if this is not possible. ‘Passwords are case-sensitive,’ you should also keep in mind, Please use caution while typing in your Bellsouth email password when using the Caps Lock and Number Lock keys.
At the same time, consider this suggestion: instead of copying and pasting your Bellsouth account login credentials, enter them in manually each time.
