Bigpond unable to receive Hotmail emails

Image
  In the case that your Bigpond email address does not receive any messages from Hotmail, your issue might stem from spam filters, blocked users, email forwarding complications, or even problems on Telstra’s server. To fix the issue, first, access Bigpond Webmail on the official Telstra website, then check the Spam or Junk files to find out if Hotmail emails are being filtered. If applicable, mark them as “Not Spam” to allow them in the future. Now check to see if the sender’s email address is blocked. From your settings, confirm if the email is on the blocked senders list. If the Hotmail domain (@hotmail.com) is indeed blocked, take it off the list and attempt to send a test email using your Hotmail account. If you enable email forwarding, make sure emails are not being sent to a different address. Specific messages might not make it to your principal inbox because some filtration settings might block them. If this does not work, check Telstra Service Status to confirm whe...

Reasons You May Face While Bigpond Login

  There can be multiple causes why users are unable to log into Bigpond email. Some common ones would include having the wrong username or password, problems with the browser being used, Telstra’s servers being down, or the account being suspended.   In case of finding yourself locked off, confirm that the email address and password are entered correctly.

Recover a Deleted Email From Bigpond Webmail

Image
  If you have mistakenly removed a crucial email in Bigpond Webmail, there’s no need to get worked up, as it can still be retrieved – provided it has not been permanently deleted. As a start, look in your Trash or Deleted Items folder because emails that have been sent to these folders can be found there for a short period before they are permanently deleted. If the message you wish to restore is within the Trash folder in the Bigpond account, highlight it and hit “Move” to bring it back to the inbox. On the other hand, if the Trash folder has been cleared out, there may still be hope of getting it recovered. For example, Bigpond Customer Care Number can be contacted for such instances. Their team will help you retrieve emails saved on their servers, depending on how long ago the email was deleted. Make sure that you have proper procedures in place to back up your emails or even archive significant messages regularly so that you don’t lose crucial data from now on. In additi...

Bigpond Email Not Working Due of Outage Issues

  Your Bigpond email might not be working because their system is down or they are working on their servers. When there are such disruptions, it can result in users being unable to send or view their emails. The first step to figuring out the issue is checking whether the servers are down. You can check Bigpond’s official site or their social media pages for up-to-date information on the services. Alternatively, while waiting for the servers to restore, there are some additional methods you can try. You can try refreshing the website or turning off and turning back on the Bigpond webmail app. Sometimes the issue is with the cache, so clearing it may solve the problem. Other times, you may wish to check whether the system you’re using is working correctly with the email sign-in, as sometimes Outlook has issues dealing with old server signals. Most of the time, these outages resolve within a few hours, if not minutes. But if the duration extends longer than that, it is best to vi...
