Configuration or Setup of BigPond Email Account

 Setting up your BigPond email account in the right manner makes it possible to access your emails seamlessly across devices. If this is the first time you are setting up BigPond email, kick off by preparing the relevant server settings. There are a number of different BigPond options, such as IMAP and POP for incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing mail. Using IMAP is better since it enables email synchronization across multiple devices, while POP just facilitates email downloading to a device.

In configuring BigPond email, first go to the device or application email client and go to the account settings section and click the “Add Account” option. Provide your BigPond email address in full form (username@bigpond.com) as well as the password. For incoming mail in the account, use the IMAP server imap.telstra.com on port 993 with SSL. Enable the SMTP server, which is smtp.telstra.com, and for outgoing mail, set this up on port 465 or 587 with secure SSL enabled.

Do remember to set authentication on the SMTP server using your email address and password where applicable. After configuring, ensure you send and receive an email. If you do not succeed, please make sure that you have entered server settings correctly and that you have a good connection to the internet.
