Are you using a secure mail key for the password?

I don't use a password I just click on my email icon and it comes up and downloads my emails from server.

ATT mail servers require authentication (user name/password), so you probably have the password stored in Tools/Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords and sent automatically when you start TB. But now that password must be replaced with a secure mail key.
