To set up an email account with BigPond (Telstra) using SMTP, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Enable SMTP Authentication

1. Log in to your BigPond email account.
2. Click on the "Settings" or "Options" icon (usually represented by a gear or cog icon).
3. Click on "Account" or "Email Settings".
4. Look for the "SMTP" or "Outgoing Mail Server" settings and click on it.
5. Enable SMTP authentication by checking the box next to "Use Authentication" or "Use SMTP Authentication".

Step 2: Configure Your Email Client

1. Open your email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.).
2. Go to the "Accounts" or "Email Accounts" section.
3. Click on "Add" or "New" to create a new email account.
4. Enter your BigPond email address and password.
5. Set the "Outgoing Mail Server" (SMTP) to smtp.bigpond.com.
6. Set the "Port" to 25 (or 587 if your email client supports it).
7. Set the "Authentication" to "Username and Password" or "Password" (depending on your email client).

Example SMTP Settings:

• Server: smtp.bigpond.com
• Port: 25 (or 587)
• Authentication: Username and Password (or Password)
• Username: Your BigPond email address
• Password: Your BigPond email password

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Make sure you've enabled SMTP authentication in your BigPond email account settings.
• Check that your email client is configured to use the correct SMTP server and port.
• If you're still having issues, try using a different email client or contact Telstra's support team for assistance.

Remember to always keep your email account and password secure to prevent unauthorized access.
