How can I set up my bellsouth.net account on a Verizon phone

[Ed Zachary]

I had a PPC6800 on BellSouth and could use it for POP3/SMTP email, no problems. Until the changeover to AT&T.
Their setup instructions on the web were WRONG (I told the call center guy that, step by step, which ones were wrong).

We upgraded our phones to TPs two days before the Alltel changeover to VZW. Here's how my TP is set up:
E-mail address: my bellsouth email addy
Your name: my name as I want it to appear in emails
Account display name: what I want the Bellsouth account to appear as in Messaging
Incoming mail server: mail.bellsouth.net (AT&T had this wrong on the web)
Account type: POP3
User name: my bellsouth email addy (the whole thing, including bellsouth.net)
Password: my password
Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: smtp.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing server requires authentification: Checked
Use the same user name....: Checked
Advanced server settings: Both "Require SSL..." boxes UNChecked. Network connection: The Internet (They had these all wrong in their online instructions)
Automatic send/receive: Manually
Download messages: From the past 3 days
Advanced settings: Send/recieve... :Checked. When deleting messages: Keep them on the server
Message format: HTML
Message download limit: 2kb

I just sent two emails to my work address and got them both.
And downloaded headers from my POP3 inbox.
