Setting up BigPond Email as Alias on Gmail Not Accepting

BRISBANE, Australia - Sept. 7, 2024 - PRLog -- Setting up BigPond email as an alias in Gmail enables you to have several emails in one inbox. If you face issues such as Gmail not accepting your BigPond email as an alias, a few solutions may help:

Verify Email Settings: Check whether the SMTP settings you are using for your BigPond account are correct. The typical SMTP settings for BigPond email include:

●      SMTP Server: smtp.telstra.com

●      Port: 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)

●      Username: Your full BigPond email account

●      Password: Your BigPond email password

Check Password: If you recently changed your BigPond password, update it in the Gmail settings when adding the alias.

Allow Less Secure Apps: If the normal SMTP settings do not work, you may try enabling the 'Allow less secure apps' option in your BigPond email settings, though this is less recommended.

Reset Google CAPTCHA: Deleting or resetting the Google CAPTCHA for your BigPond account can sometimes help. This can be done by going to the Google CAPTCHA reset page while signed into your BigPond account.

Re-check for Errors: Ensure that all information entered is correct, especially in the email and password fields. These areas are prone to typographical errors or other mistakes.

If the problem persists, please reach out to Telstra's customer service, who will be able to advise you further on this issue.
