Email Issue

Hi, I have discovered that people with bigpond addresses are not receiving my emails. I've noticed in addition to the two email addresses I also have an "exchange" email which only seems to contain 'sent' emails. Do I need the 'exchange' email? Can I delete it? How can I move the 'sent' emails to my mail email sent folder?

    Hi @Lee-Anne Williams

    To better understand how your email accounts are configured, could you please provide the following information? 

    Regarding the BigPond sending issue: 

    • What is the domain of the email address you are sending from (e.g., @yourcompany.com or @outlook.com)? Please do not post your full email address. 
    • When you send to a BigPond address, do you receive a bounce-back error message, or does it look like it sent fine but never arrives? 
    • Are emails sent to non-BigPond addresses (like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook) delivering normally? 

    Regarding the "Exchange" account & Sent folders: 

    • Which device and email application are you using (e.g., Windows, Mac, iPhone)? If you use Outlook for Windows, are you using New Outlook or Classic Outlook? 
    • Who provides your email service (e.g., Microsoft 365, Telstra, Google Workspace, GoDaddy, or another host)? 
    • How are the two accounts displayed in your left-hand folder pane? 
    • Is the email address associated with the "Exchange" account the same as your main email address, or a different one? 
    • When you send a test email right now, which account's Sent / Sent Items folder does the message end up in? 
    • Could you provide a screenshot showing where the main account, the “Exchange” account, and their Sent folders appear. Before uploading it, please hide any personal information. 

    For now, do not delete the Exchange account, as it may be the account currently being used to send your messages or synchronize other information. 

    In the meantime, these articles may help: 

    • Change the account used to send email messages in Outlook explains how to check or select the account shown in the From field. 
    • Move or copy an item to another folder in Outlook provides separate instructions for new Outlook, classic Outlook, and Outlook on the web. 
    • Telstra: Why can’t I send or receive emails? includes checks for Junk folders, blocked senders, filtering rules, mailbox storage, and email settings. Please note that BigPond email is now supported as part of Telstra Mail. Therefore, although the article refers to Telstra rather than BigPond, its troubleshooting guidance is still relevant to @bigpond.com addresses.
