Telstra Telecommunications’ BigPond is Australia’s largest ISP which launched “BigPond webmail” as one of the top email service providers because emails are the most professional online communication method. The best-priced webmail service is offered by Telstra under the BigPond name.
Telstra, on the other hand, has been updating its products and services since 2013. As a result, BigPond webmail is now known as Telstra mail.

- Make sure that your iPad has been connected to a proper and stable network connection.
- Resetting your Network settings might also help if other solutions don’t work. To do this, go over to Settings > General Settings > Reset > Network reset.
- Disabling any third-party apps/ antivirus that might be interfering with your account could also help. See if you have an antivirus or any third-party apps blocking access to your email client.
- Delete your BigPond account and reconfigure it again. Although this may take some time, many users have succeeded with this step so why not give it a try?
- Clear caches and cookies from your device as less storage and performance issues could also hinder the configuration process.
