Bigpond Email Setup Using IMAP, POP, or SMTP

Setting up your Bigpond email correctly is crucial for ensuring that you can send and receive emails smoothly on various devices using different email clients. Bigpond supports IMAP, POP, and SMTP protocols, each serving different purposes.

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is recommended if you want to access your emails from multiple devices, as it syncs the emails across all devices. The IMAP settings for Bigpond are:

●      Incoming Mail Server: mail.bigpond.com

●      Port: 993

●      Encryption: SSL

POP (Post Office Protocol) is suitable if you access your email from a single device, as it downloads emails to that device and deletes them from the server. The POP settings for Bigpond are:

●      Incoming Mail Server: mail.bigpond.com

●      Port: 995

●      Encryption: SSL

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending emails. The SMTP settings for Bigpond are:

●      Outgoing Mail Server: mail.bigpond.com

●      Port: 465 or 587

●      Encryption: SSL

When setting up your email, enter your full email address as the username and your password. Make sure to test the settings by sending a test email to confirm everything is working correctly.
