 From the ATT/Yahoo help pages:  (No they don't support FF but the 
settings are the same for FF OE )

   1. Verify these settings:
          * For "*My incoming mail server is a ____ server*," the
            field contains *POP3*.
          * The *Incoming mail (POP3)* and *Outgoing mail
            (SMTP) *fields* *contain the correct mail server settings
            <http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=287>.
          * The *Account name* field contains your full AT&T
            email address (e.g., YourName at att.net).
          * The box next to *Log on using Secure Password
            Authentication* is NOT checked.
          * The *My* *server requires authentication* box is checked.
   2. Verify these settings:

      *Note: *When updating the secure sever settings, check SSL
      checkbox first, then update the port number setting.

          * Under Outgoing mail (SMTP) should be port 465 and the box
            next to *This server requires a secure connection (SSL)* is
            checked.
          * Under Incoming mail (POP3) should be port 995 and the box
            next to *This server requires a secure connection (SSL)* is
            checked.
