    So this is the Bigpond Webmail? I have an wireless account but don't use their webmail because it's clunky and I can't download the mail locally. Plus if I change ISPs I lose my email, so I use GMAIL, which I can also access from my iPhone.

    We went through all manner of Email providers. trying to find one which would support Bigpond, since Outlook was not compatible with Windows7. I couldn't get 'Live Mail' to work, 'Thunderbird' half worked, I could download but then couldn't send any EMAILs. In frustration I opened a 'GMAIL' Account and re-directed my Bigpond EMAILS - plug and play. In total this took about 5 minutes. I am not entirely happy with the format, but it works.

    I use Foxmail, it works a treat with Windows 7, has outlook compatability and best of all it can access Hotmail directly. It's free but has one problem, the default installation is in chinese. However it's an easy fix and requires the deletion of one file in the installation folder and all is then in English.

    More information see http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/E-mail-Clients/Foxmail.shtml

    Well, it appears as thou Thunderbird 2 is no-go.

    However, I have downloaded Opera and it all seems to be working ok. All be it, currently I have only set it up on a XP machine.

    When i get home, I will try it on Win 7 & see what happens...

    I'm running Windows7 pro and Tunderbird 2.0.0.23 without problems.
    Bigpond should just be:
    incoming: mail.bigpond.com
    outgoing: mail bigpond.com
    username: youremail@bigpond.com

    And that's it. I've done it on heaps of machines. Otherwise as suggested open a gmail account. Might be better in the long run if you ever change from bigpond you're not going to loose your email address. You have to follow the gmail tutorial on their site as they have different ports and you have to enable pop3 in your gmail account.
