It has been a while since I have been using Gmail as my primary email account. However, recently I was speaking to my friend who was telling me about her experience while using Bigpond email services. I was pretty amazed at the way she described her experience and was also very happy with their services. She even suggested that I should consider having a Bigpond email login account for myself. I took her up on the suggestion and I must say I do not regret this decision.
As a blogger, I like to pen down my experiences through my articles, and while I was signing up for this, I decided to explore a little bit more to understand some basic elements. In this article, I’m going to share some useful information on how to create a Bigpond email address, configure it using a third-party application as well as how to restore your account if you have forgotten your password. But before all that I do want to share some important tips that you should remember.
