Move BigPond Emails to Gmail?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gmail used to pull mail from other accounts using POP. Google turned that feature off in January 2026. Gmail on the web no longer fetches emails from outside accounts. You can still add a BigPond account to the Gmail mobile app using IMAP, but that only lets you read BigPond mail there. The emails stay on the BigPond server and do not move into your Gmail storage. If BigPond ever closes or you leave Telstra, your emails are still at risk.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Migrate_BigPond_Email_to_Gmail_Quick_Answer\"><\/span>How to Migrate BigPond Email to Gmail (Quick Answer)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To move your BigPond emails to Gmail, add both accounts to an email client like Thunderbird using IMAP. Then copy your BigPond folders into your Gmail account.
