+61-881-217-733 How to set up my Bigpond email with IMAP, POP and SMTP

 To set up your Telstra Bigpond Email manually you'll need to know the webserver names as well as port numbers; This includes IMAP and also POP settings

IMAP as well as POP both allow you to download and install e­mails to your phone, computer, or tablet.

 

The difference is:

IMAP synchronizes your e­mail with the email web server. So anything you do to your e­mails­­ like reply, deletes or mark as checked out­­ will certainly be updated on all your tools;

POP doesn't sync your email with the mail web server. So anything you do to your e­mail will only appear on that particular device.

Quick tips

If you're switching from utilizing POP to IMAP, your POP folder configuration will be lost. To keep these folders, log into Telstra Bigpond Webmail and also re­create them before you change over.
