IMAP Settings to Access Bigpond Email Account From a Desktop Email Program

| Updated on February 13, 2024

Bigpond is an email service offered under the brand name Telstra, an internet service provider. Ever since Bigpond got merged with Telstra in 2013, users have been finding it difficult to log in to their Bigpond email account

Bigpond email users can even access their accounts on mobile devices or through desktop email clients if they are not able to log in through the webmail version.

The great thing is Bigpond.com supports IMAP/SMTP which means you don’t necessarily have to use the webmail interface. You can even check your emails or send messages through any third-party or desktop email programs like Outlook, Apple Mail, and so on and ultimately that will improve your workflow, and you can still access your email if the device is not connected to the internet.

So if you are interested in setting up your Bigpond email account on desktop email programs, you will need to enter the IMAP settings that have been provided further in this blog.
