Are you tired of dealing with browsers to log in to your account? Can’t find the login pages? Then, the best way to get rid of all of these issues is to add your Bellsouth account to an email client or app. We understand how annoying it can be to access the login pages when they don’t even load. So, for that time, we have perfect alternatives in the form of email apps. Also, Bellsouth email accounts are fully compatible with the email apps. Therefore, you can have full access to your account on an email app. 

You can add your account to an inbuilt email app on your device or a trusted third-party email client. To add your Bellsouth account to a device, you just need to know the server settings of your account. Set an incoming and outgoing server on the mobile app, and then you are good to go. However, you can also use the automatic method to add your account, in which you do not need to set the incoming and outgoing server settings for your account. But we recommend you set your account manually if you can’t add your email account with an automatic method.
