No is the answer to almost all your questions.

No, you can't use mail.gmail.com as the outgoing mail server on your bigpond account.

No, you can't send as your bigpond address from a Gmail account via the iPhone interface, although you should be able to do it using the Gmail app (there is an official one) or the Gmail web interface.

By far your best option is to setup a Gmail or Google Apps account, and check your Bigpond account using this, and migrate across to the Google account.

Either that or have this conversation with Telstra, and see if they have a config that will work with other networks.

Wouldn't the easiest way to send an email from your Bigpond account while OS be to simply log in via your browser, in the same way you would log into hotmail, etc. sure it won't be as nice as using the app, but it will get the job done.

create a gmail account. in a full version browser (on your pc/mac) go to settings >> accounts and import, in gmail. set up your bigpond account in there.

gmail will automatically retrieve any of your bigpond emails sitting on the bigpond mail server.

set up your bigpond email as an alias in gmail. select 'reply from the same address email was sent to'

stick with the default settings for most things.

send and receive mail from anywhere anytime using gmail.

install gmail to your aidsphone.

google this shit. there are step by step guides. its simple. should take you 10 minutes.

i went further, and had my mail directly forward to gmail, and created filters whereby everything is labelled and sorted.

this removes the random refresh times you get when using non-gmail addresses in gmail.

but thats another story.

OR

do what marc said.

Are you using your SIM from oz or have you bought a SIM from there?

Unfortunately with bigpond, as Ryan mentioned, you cannot send emails, only receive them and creating a gmail account is the easiest way around it.

However,

There is one other way around it which can sometimes work. You'll need to make the outgoing server that of whichever network you are using overseas eg. If your phone is using a Vodafone server, change your outgoing server to smtp.vodafone.net.au (being overseas, the "net.au" bit will be different). Some networks like Optus change the "smtp" bit and use mail.optusnet.com.au.

Again, this may or may not work.

Bigpond is one of those ISPs that are dicky to use when you're overseas.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
