It’s easy to delete your AT&T email account without canceling your service. When you sign up for any AT&T services such as the internet or phone services, AT&T will automatically provide you an @att.net email address. The AT&T email address allows you to receive important news and information about your account status, such as billing details and rate plan offers.
Close AT&T email account
Not everyone will like to use their AT&T email account. If you would like to close your AT&T email account, you can do so without canceling your service. Att.net mail service is powered by the Yahoo! Mail webmail platform. The deletion process to close your AT&T email account is the same as it is with Yahoo!.
Step 1
Launch your browser and open the att.net web page. If you are not already logged in, click the “Log In” button in the upper-right corner of your screen and sign in to your account by filling in your login and password.
Step 2
Go to the following link: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user. This will redirect you to the account deletion page. Enter your password to confirm your identity.
Step 3
After confirming your account, AT&T will lead you to a page explaining what you stand to lose if you should go ahead to delete your account. If you wish to continue, click on the “Terminate this Account” button.
