Problems conifguring mail using Bigpond

Hi,
I am currently using a Bigpond account here in Australia and for some reason I can not send and receive my email using "Mail".
Could someone please help me with configuring Mail to send and receive from Bigpond by letting me know the settings they had.
The Bigpond help page is completely useless.
Thanks

Actually, this page says it all - bit slow to load, that's all.
But, basically:
Description: anything you like.
Email address: your full email address, e.g. [email protected]
Full name:...
Incoming mail server: mail.bigpond.com
User Name:your full email address as above
Password: the account password.
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.bigpond.com
CLick on 'Server settings' and check that the top field shows mail.bigpond.com Server port should be 25, Use secure Sockets Layer should not be checked, Authentication should be None. Click OK.
Click on the 'Advanced' tab. Confirm that 'Enable this account', 'Include when automatically checking for new mail' and 'Remove copy from server...' are checked. Set the pop-up menu below this to 'Right now' unless you have a reason to hold mail on the server. Leave the rest alone.
That ought to do it.

    "I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
    Superb advice R&W!  My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1).  Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me.  Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
    Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

  • Problems receiving mail using Kerberos v5 GSSAPI Authentication

    Hi
    We have a problem with our POP mail authentication. It works fine when the Apple Mail client is set to use authentication password but if we set it to use Kerberos v5 GSSAPI the mail client will check mail and after a long period, the spinning wheel stops indicating that there is no mail without any failure message, however there is mail to be received. I believe Kerberos is all correctly set up as we can authenicate to our AFP shares and VPN and can also send mail when using SMTP authentication and it is set to use Kerberos. It is just the POP receiving that is causing us a problem.
    I have also checked to make sure that there are 3 principals for each service and these exist.
    Anybody have any ideas as to what might be causing the problem? Incidentally, our CRAM MD5 also works for SMTP sending and works fine for sending and receiving for an IMAP account but will not work with a POP account. Don't know if this has any bearing on the matter.

    Which email client are you using on your Mac?
    If the Mail application, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences, what is the account type shown?
    If POP, what is your setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded which is under the Advanced tab for the account preferences?
    If you manually created your Gmail account on the iPhone and you chose the Gmail preset, it was created as a POP account. To create the account as an IMAP account on the iPhone you must choose Other and then IMAP when creating the account.

  • Problem Sending Mail (using Mail 2.1.1) from Cafes with Wireless Internet

    Hi,
    I have a Comcast.net mail account and Cable Internet at home. Receiving and sending mail works perfectly.
    When I take my MacBook into any cafe that has wireless internet -- and I've tried this in multiple cities -- I can receive mail fine, but when I try to send mail I get an error. The error message doesn't seem to have anything of use in it -- just "Cannot send the message with server smtp.comcast.net."
    When I then take the MacBook home, it instantly sends all the emails with no problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Hello Ron.
    > I know that some ISP's require authentication when using their servers from outside their network.
    It isn't your ISP that may require authentication with their SMTP server when connected to the internet via a different ISP, it is the ISP used for connecting to the internet if different from your own that dictates or may require this. If your ISP or the email account provider for the account does not support separate authentication with their SMTP server, trying to use authentication for the SMTP server will not work.
    Is Comcast your ISP? If not, is your ISP's SMTP server authenticated and does your ISP support using or not using separate authentication with their SMTP server?
    Time Warner (RoadRunner) is my ISP and RR does not have have an authenticated SMTP nor do they support it.

  • Problems e-mailing using i-photo

    I've selected 40 pics to send, but only 6 come up in my e-mail to send. Its always the same 6 pics, no matter how many pics I send. Never had this happen before.

    ntroll2:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is it the first 6 pictures of those that you've selected? Have you been able to email more than 6 before? You can try the following:
    1 - empty the User/Library/Caches/iPhoto folder.
    2 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's located in the User/Library/Preferences folder.
    As already been mentioned, 40 pics in one email is a bit much. You might try exporting to a folder on the Desktop, downsizing them in the process, and do what Terence suggested. Or breaking it into groups of about 5-8 per email. Zipping is a good way of sending them particularly if they're going to the dark side.
    If this is to share, another online sharing site, www.Twango.com, lets you upload full sized or several smaller sized so that others can view or download the largest size uploaded. There's no change. You can also embed cool slideshows or ticker tape displays in other pages if so desire like this.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Problems sending mail using my .me account

    Hi, I just started using Lion and my mail (mobileme account) freezes when sending mail. Do I need to change the settings in the mail preferences pane?

    You don't need any of that socket factory stuff. See the JavaMail FAQ for a simpler way
    to do it. See also the smtpsend.java demo program for a simple way to switch between
    using SSL and not using SSL.

  • Problem sending mail using imap

    Just switched my gmail account in Entourage to an imap so it would sync with my iphone, and now it won't send any mail out. Just stays in outbox until it times out. Also, my At&t account won't send out either, and that's still a POP.

    In Mail>Preferences>Accounts, highlight that one, Account Information tab, near the bottom, Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), Server Settings... button.
    Does the top say exactly smtp.gmail.com, or does it have an @ sign in it?

  • Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP

    Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP?  Having a problem syncing to our mail server: doesn't sync properly when multiple devices use same mail acct.  Spoken w/ mail hosting provider who says Apple Mail doesn't follow IMAP protocol properly leaving Apple Mail users to experience a variety of problems when connecting to IMAP accounts.  Among them:
    - Improper syncing
    - Proliferation of drafts during composition of an email.
    - Connections on the mail host do not close automatically and proliferate over time until the host rejects further connection requests.
    Hosting provider goes on to suggest turning off IDLE command.  In my experience turning this feature off did not improve the situation.  In fact, it created a few.
    Question: Is the hosting provider correct in faulting Apple Mail?
    Been fielding the question with a number of people.  I'm aware of three people who are experiencing similar problems, each using different mail hosts.  Tech reps at inmotionhosting.com and nexcess.com point the finger at a Apple Mail, along with an IT specialist in Los Angeles, CA, and a tech support rep at an Apple Store in Arizona who said that Apple and Google mail are aware of and coordinating to resolve the problem.
    Anyone out there have any insights into this?

  • When I try to open folders in e-mail using firefox I get a message "There appears to be a problem loading the message list". Re-setting firefox did not help.

    When I go to e-mail I get the inbox. I cannot access other folders such as 'sent items' or 'spam' however and when I go back to inbox I get the same message. The problem only arises using firefox - not internet explorer. I have tried resetting firefox and the default settings without effect.

  • Is anyone else having a problem in mail everytime an apostrophe is used?

    I am having a problem in Mail, everytime I use an apostrophe. It refuses to add the second l in I'll it jumps it to the next line. Anyone else have this issue?

    Quite a few people are; though, many are not.
    Two workarounds have been noted on other threads.
    Disable Smart Quotes in Edit Menu, Substitutions.
    Set spelling check to be as you type instead of when sending.
    Each workaround works for some, but not others. Some people, like me, don't have the problem at all.

  • Problem replying in yahoo mail using iPod touch

    Hi,
    I am not able to to reply to emails using yahoo mail configured in ipod touch, I have this message : Cannot Send Mail The connection to the outgoing server "(null)" failed.
    But I'm able to send mails when not replying. What can I do to solve this problem?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem with Yahoo! Mail but even worse I found that I simply could not send any mail at all. The problem only arose this week after installing the new (1.1.4) software upgrade.
    I had originally set up Yahoo! Mail using the option given on the Mail screen and it worked perfectly until the upgrade, which may just have been coincidental, I suppose. But I was then unable to send any mail at all. I deleted the e-mail account and then reapplied it but not by opting for the Yahoo! option on Mail and instead set it up as an 'Other' POP account, being sure to deactivate SSL and instead go for Password verification. From what I gather this is just how you would set up a Yahoo! Mail account for MacMail and this basically applies the advice that BT gives for Yahoo! Mail users with a Mac.
    It then worked fine, but I lost the really cool real-time sync with Yahoo! Mail which I had had previously.
    I have since managed to get Yahoo! Mail working again properly by simply trying and trying and trying to reapply the account as a true Yahoo! Mail account on the Mail icon and eventually it gave in to my dogged persistence.
    Good luck.

  • I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

    I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

    I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now all is working.
