of a much better place to put my Email account?? I know there are many options. What I want is a trouble free account. An account that doesn't lock me out every couple of weeks and takes my security questions/answers when I try and reset my password.
So what Email accounts have you had good luck with??

Outlook for business and gmail for personal.
have not had a problem with either.

What Don said ^
Yea! Don
I'm using AT&T also and don't like the latest version from about 2 years ago. I would like to change too but I've had the same e-mail address for 30+ years and just can't change.
Jeff, you summed up my problem perfectly. I have had the same Email address for just about 25 years. My address is a combination my wife's, our two children and me using the first letter of our first names and the first letter of our last name, so it is a very personal address.
I use @comcast but that's because they're my internet provider. If your provider offers email service, look into it.
Edit: if AT&T is your provider, that advice doesn't help. There's always gmail, if you don't mind all the tracking. To stay truly anonymous, you can sign up for the new duck duck go email forwarding service. They screen out your personal info both in and out. Read about it here to see if it might interest you...

ATT Sucks. No further comment needed.
I'm on gmail. No problema. Sorry if it is run by a bunch of Libs, I could not care less.
Same here.
I have the same problems with ATT , but have no better luck with gmail so I just answer the questions and reset my password using the same one
There are tons of e-mail providers out there. One of the three I use is Run Box.
I have used Gmail for years with no issues.
Believe it or not, my Rocketmail e-mail account on Yahoo has been problem free for some 15 years or so.
Knock on wood!
Free email providers worth considering:
gmail.com
outlook.com
mail.com (one of the oldest)
yahoo.com
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Another option is if your internet is also through ATT, you can have your email forwarded to another company so you don't have to directly mess with ATT.
Are you logging into the webmail each time or do you use a program such as Outlook to download and manage your email? Reason I ask is generally speaking using a mail client like Outlook will be less problematic. Also, if you run any type of program that cleans temp files and cookies from your computer can certainly cause one to have to constantly do what you others describe. This generally only affects logging in via a browser and would not affect if using Outlook or the like.
I have a similar problem with ATT mail. About 2 weeks in it lock me out. I can't change the password. I call ATT to talk to someone. They will do something, and say try it now. At this point I can log in with a different password. This has ben going on for 6 months. Its enough to p.o. the Pope.
Your whole problem is your dealing with AT&T.
I did not sign into a yahoo account for a few years and then found a migrated folder with the info and successfully signed in. They had deleted all the emails.
