Do you have a BIGPOND email address?
You only have a few months left to save you emails and move them to another email system?
What do I do next?
1. Create a new email address in a different system
You can migrate your Bigpond email account to Microsoft 365.

for.
You can move your Bigpond email to a new GMAIL email account
If you are a small business using bigpond as your email address, we can create you your business email using your existing domain.
Use other email systems and forward all your emails from bigpond. Here a few:

2. Move all your emails from bigpond to new email address
To move and divert all emails from BigPond to another provider, you'll need to follow a few steps. Here's a general guide:
Set up forwarding in BigPond:
- Log into your BigPond email account- Look for "Settings" or "Options"
- Find "Forwarding" or "Mail Forwarding"
- Enter your new email address
- Save the changes
Set up your new email provider:
- Create an account with your new provider if you haven't already
- Set up your new email address
Import existing emails (optional):
- Many providers offer an import tool
- You may need to use IMAP to transfer old emails
Update POP3/IMAP settings (if using an email client):
- Change the incoming and outgoing server settings to your new provider
Notify contacts:
- Send a message to your contacts about your new email address
Monitor both accounts:
- Check both for a transition period to ensure you're not missing emails
Eventually close BigPond account:
- Once you're sure everything is transferred, you can close the old account
