  Telstra Mail (new) email settings - IMAP

  If you are a new customer who has taken up a broadband service with Telstra on or after 21st April 2016, or you have been notified by Telstra that your email address has been moved to the new Telstra Mail^TM, the below settings for manual email setup will apply to you.

  Telstra Mail recommends using IMAP however POP is available to use as alternate preference to IMAP. It’s a good idea to back up your email data before changing your email settings.

   

  What is the difference between IMAP & POP?

  IMAP and POP are two different protocols (methods) used to access email. Of the two, IMAP is the recommended option when you need to check your emails from multiple devices as IMAP always syncs with Telstra email servers.

  Please note, IMAP is only available for customers using the new Telstra Mail platform

  A good example of the difference is when you read your emails. If you’re using IMAP and mark an email as “read”, it also gets marked as read in all of your other inboxes. This won’t happen with POP as emails are downloaded to your specific computer or device and any changes you make on that device won’t be reflected in the Telstra servers and across other devices or computers.

  If you’re switching from using POP to IMAP you’ll need to be mindful that any folders set up with POP will be lost when you change to IMAP. To keep these folders, we recommend logging into Webmail and re-creating them before transferring.
