Bigpond, Telstra Emails are Moving on August 19th

Telstra have launched a new email service called Telstra Mail™  which will provide you with a simple-to-use email service, 10GB of storage and advanced security. This new service will replace the current Telstra and BigPond email service.
We’ll move active email accounts but will only move those that customers want to keep.

That’s easy, you don’t need to do anything. We’ll disable your email and its contents after 19th August 2016.

Why should I keep this mailbox?
Telstra Mail™ offers a simple to use and consistent email experience across mobiles, tablets and computers, along with:

Increased storage to 10GB
Advanced security  and spam filtering
Consistent look and feel across your desktop and mobile devices.

What happens to my Microsoft# services?

Please note that when closing your mailbox, if you are on Outlook.com then you will still be able to access any Microsoft# services such as OneDrive#, Xbox# or Messenger.

But you will not be able to receive any new incoming email messages.

I no longer want my mailbox but want to keep my content?
Before 19th August 2016 you have the option to set up an email program or device with your email address and password and set it up as a new email account eg.  Outlook# or MacMail, to pull down your messages. This will copy your messages down to an email program or device leaving a copy on your device. Please refer to your email program or device settings to ensure you capture all content for the period required.
