Bigpond windows live mail outlook
A blast from the past!
BigPond was a popular internet service provider (ISP) in Australia, and Windows Live Mail was a free email service offered by Microsoft. Outlook is a popular email client developed by Microsoft.
Here's a brief history:
- BigPond was a subsidiary of Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications company. It was launched in 1997 and provided internet access, email, and other online services to Australian consumers.
- Windows Live Mail was a free email service offered by Microsoft, which allowed users to access their email accounts using a web-based interface or a desktop client. It was launched in 2007 and was popular among users who wanted a simple, easy-to-use email service.
- Outlook is a popular email client developed by Microsoft, which was first released in 1996. It has since become one of the most widely used email clients in the world, offering features such as calendar management, contact management, and task management.
In 2012, Telstra rebranded its BigPond email service as Outlook.com, which is now a part of Microsoft's Outlook family of products. This means that users who previously used BigPond email accounts can now access their email using the Outlook.com web interface or the Outlook desktop client.
If you're looking to migrate from BigPond Windows Live Mail to Outlook, you can follow these steps:
- Sign in to your BigPond email account using the Outlook.com web interface.
- Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the page and select "Settings".
- Click on the "Accounts" tab and select "Import/Export".
- Follow the prompts to import your BigPond email account into Outlook.com.
- Once the import is complete, you can access your email using the Outlook.com web interface or the Outlook desktop client.
Note that you may need to update your email settings and passwords to access your BigPond email account using Outlook.com.
