Bigpond Email Setup Using IMAP, POP, or SMTP
Setting up your Bigpond email account with IMAP, POP, or SMTP allows you to access your emails through various email clients. Here’s how to configure your account:
- Choose
Your Protocol:
○
IMAP (Recommended for flexibility): Keeps your emails on the server, allowing you to access and
sync them across multiple devices.
○
POP (Good for single-device use): Downloads emails to your device and typically deletes them
from the server unless configured otherwise.
- IMAP and POP Settings:
○
Incoming Mail Server (IMAP):
imap.telstra.com
○
Incoming Mail Server (POP3):
pop.telstra.com
○
Port: Use 993 for IMAP and 995 for POP3,
with SSL required for both.
- SMTP Settings:
○
Outgoing Mail Server:
smtp.telstra.com
○
Port: Use 465 with SSL or 587 with
TLS/StartTLS.
○
Authentication Required:
Yes, use your full email address and password.
- Configure Your Email Client:
○
Account Type: Select IMAP
or POP based on your preference.
○
User Name: Enter your
full email address.
○
Password: Use your
Bigpond email password.
○
Server Authentication:
Enabled (uses the same settings as your incoming mail server).
- Test Your Setup:
○
Send a test email to confirm that
your settings work correctly. Check for both sending and receiving
capabilities.
By following these settings, you can
ensure your Bigpond email functions smoothly with your preferred email client,
keeping your communications seamless across all your devices.
