Tips and considerations

• Make sure you have enabled POP3 access in your Telstra Mail account settings. You can do this by logging into your Telstra Mail account, clicking on "Settings", and then "Account Settings".
• If you're using a Telstra Mail account with two-factor authentication (2FA), you may need to generate an app password and use that instead of your regular password.
• MailWasher may not support all features of Telstra Mail, such as large file attachments or advanced spam filtering. If you encounter any issues, you may need to adjust your Telstra Mail settings or use a different email client.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up your Telstra Mail account in MailWasher and start filtering your emails.
