I have just changed from telstra to an FTTP NBN provider which means no
more bigpong email address so I just want to move my address book.
when I want hotmail I just go www.hotmail and eventually starts outlook

Or the best method of using web based email, (and my address book?
Are Telstra (Australia's major telco) closing down bigpond.com?? Or,
rather than using the bigpond.com web interface, do you download
everything from bigpond.com onto your computer, i.e. a POP e-mail
account??
I would have thought you could still use your bigpond.com web based
email via the NBN with no more difficulty than you currently have.
Except that the bigpond email account closes when you close your ADSL2+
account with telstra and go to a provider using FTTN.
I am now saddled with having web based email.
can I use the seamonkey mail system to access it.
(For those that are unaware, FTTN is Fiber To The Node, i.e. the pit in
the ground at the corner!! From there to the House wall socket signal is
copper wire!!)
My e-mail account is a POP3 account, so when I log into my ISP, my
SeaMonkey downloads the e-mail from his server onto my hard drive.
If you end up with an IMAP type e-mail account (i.e. normally using
"their" web site), I believe you can set up a mail account in SeaMonkey
to download the e-mails from your Provider's server so that they are
stored on your computer hard drive.
But I don't know how to set up an IMAP account (I don't expect it would
be too hard), but maybe someone else is reading this who knows what to do.
