How to set up Bigpond.com for an iPad/iPhone

Configuring Bigpond.com

It is possible that the Mail app will find the configuration itself then complete setting up your account. Follow these steps in order to find out if it will:

1. Open Settings, then Mail and tap Accounts
2. Click Add Account > Other and click Add Mail Account.
3. Type in your name (can be any name), email address, your password and a description for account.
4. Click Next. Mail should try to find the mail settings and complete setting your account. If Mail finds the e-mail settings, click Done to finish your account setup.

If the Mail app couldn't find your email parameters, it means that you need to enter them yourself. We think you will need the following information:

Incoming E-mail Server (IMAP) Setup

Outgoing E-mail Server Setup (via SMTP)

Tap Next, then follow these steps:

1. Choose IMAP or POP. If you are not certain which one to opt for, contact Bigpond.com
2. Type the details (You may want to refer to the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next
3. If your mail settings are correct, tap Save to complete . If the mail settings are incorrect, the app will ask you to edit them
4. If you still can't setup your account, or save your e-mail settings, contact the provider.
