[Linux-aus] BigPond Email - Requires Windows Live Essentials

[Paul Parker]

Bigpond emails change to Windows Live.

Any issues - cosmetic or serious, for Apple and Linux users who may
still depend upon BigPond services, with emailed accounts to BigPond
email addresses ?


Will this also effect other Telstra/Bigpond email services  ?

Has Microsoft complied with EEC requirements for communications to be
OS neutral ?

Paul.
