Set up Telstra
in any email app.
The correct IMAP, POP3 and SMTP settings for Telstra. Use these with BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird or any other mail client.
Instead of using Telstra's webmail interface, you can use a mobile or desktop email app like BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird. Desktop email apps offer more features, faster access and offline reading. Your messages are right there even without a connection.
How to set up Telstra in BlueMail
- Get BlueMail. Install BlueMail free on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows or Linux, or open web.bluemail.me in your browser.
- Add your account. Open BlueMail and tap Add Account, then choose Email.
- Sign in with your Telstra address. Enter your full Telstra email address and password.
- Let BlueMail find the settings. BlueMail detects the correct Telstra servers automatically. If you're asked to enter them manually, use the settings below: incoming imap.telstra.com and outgoing smtp.telstra.com exactly as listed.
- Done. Your Telstra inbox appears and stays in sync on every device you sign in on.
First, create a Telstra app password
Telstra requires an app specific password for email apps and rejects your normal account password. Sign in to Telstra Webmail in a browser, go to Settings, then Accounts, find the app specific password section and select Generate Password. Name it for your device, then paste the generated password into your email app. The same servers work for @bigpond.com, @bigpond.net.au and @telstra.com addresses.
