Before you connect
What you need
Your Telstra address
bigpond.com, bigpond.net.au and telstra.com addresses all use the same imap.telstra.com and smtp.telstra.com servers.
Password, or an app-specific password
Telstra documents your normal email password for IMAP. If it gets rejected (common since Telstra's 2024 security changes), sign in to webmail at email.telstra.com, open Settings, then Accounts, and generate an app-specific password to use instead.
Telstra Mail works best with a revocable app password.

Telstra Mail follows open standards: its calendar speaks CalDAV at calendar.telstra.com with the same login as your mailbox, so events sync alongside your mail.
