I use a basic email package that came with my AT&T account. When I try to
send an email through a popped up window from a web site, it opens up
Outlook, and refuses to send the email to the recipient. HELP.

When you say "refuses to send the email to the recipient" what PRECISELY
happens? Error message?
Have you actually set up an email account in Outlook?

I have never set up an Outlook email account, I'm using the default system
that comes with AT&T Worldnet. When I try to send an email from a web page,
somehow Outlook window is what opens up (rather than AT&T?), and the message
does not go to the recipient and I get a "undeliverable" message NOT in my
AT&T in box, but over in Outlook when I open it up and poke around.

Either set up an email account in Outlook, or uninstall it (if you don't
use it) or check that your AT&T software is set as default email client.
What software does AT&T use?

When I was a Worldnet subscriber, it used Outlook Express. Has that
changed?

You can always create an account for yourself in Outlook. Just how depends
on the version, which you haven't posted yet.

Gordon,, if I set myself up on Outlook as an email acount (don't know how to
do), would other family members that are also on the AT&T account have to
switch over? They have their own email addresses.

No they don't *have* to, but you then get the added complication of only
being able to have one default email client per machine, *unless* you
are running Windows XP or 2000 and have separate User logins. If that is
the case, there is a little utility that will set the default Email
client on a per-user basis.

Start with Control Panel's Mail applet to configure a mail profile. You can
add accounts from there.
