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.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
