Moving email messages from the inbox of your AT&T account to Gmail helps you store all your electronic communication in one place. You can use the Mail Fetcher feature from Gmail to synchronize your Google email account with other inboxes. In addition, you can also set your AT&T account to forward your future messages to Gmail, so you don't have to access the inbox provided by your ISP whenever you want to check for new emails.
