Step 2: Configure Your Email Client

To configure your email client to use BigPond's SMTP server, you'll need to enter the following settings:

• SMTP Server: smtp.telstra.com
• Port: 587
• Username: Your BigPond email address (e.g., [yourname]@bigpond.com)
• Password: Your BigPond email password

Step 3: Test Your SMTP Connection

Once you've entered the above settings, test your SMTP connection by sending an email from your email client. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to send and receive emails without any issues.

Additional Tips

• Make sure to enable SSL/TLS encryption when configuring your email client to ensure a secure connection.
