Benefits
BigPond Premium Mail is great if you need to work on the move - or your colleagues do. Your team can keep in touch from anywhere with internet access out on the road, using an amazing range of web-enabled devices. What's more, those devices will automatically synchronise with the latest information, even as you switch access between your PDA, laptop, desktop and GPRS phone.
The services are based on a licensed and fully managed version of Microsoft Exchange 2003, which is hosted and maintained by BigPond. It's an easy, flexible and cost-effective alternative to hosting your own organisational software.
So you can synchronise shared calendars and contacts to schedule meetings and make appointments, create electronic 'to do' lists to make managing workloads easier, and send and receive email from anywhere with internet access out on the road.

Quick Links
Here's your guide to the all the most important features of BigPond Premium Mail. You can either scroll down to read about all the features, or use the quick links below to jump ahead.
Mobile Access
Staff can access their Premium Mail features from portable wireless devices such as GPRS-enabled PDAs and WAP 2.0 mobile phones, within a GPRS coverage area. It's perfect for people who need access to their mailbox and other information while on the road.
This mobile functionality includes two main types of access:
1. Active Sync with Microsoft Pocket PC
Reconfigures the Microsoft Outlook display for the much smaller screens of mobile phones and PDAs. Staff can use any GPRS-enabled device, including mobile phones, PDAs and Pocket PCs to access and use their mailbox features.
- write and send emails from their PDA or mobile phone
- review and respond to emails
- access, change or add Contacts
- access, change or add appointments in their Calendar
- send meeting invitations
- respond to emails with a voice message, which is saved as a .wav file and sent as an email (Microsoft 'Smart phone' only).
2. Outlook Mobile Access via WAP 2.0
Delivers a text-based version of your email and other Outlook tools (Calendar, Contacts entries, etc) so that staff can:
- write and send emails from their mobile phone
- review and respond to emails
- access, change or add Contacts
- access, change or add appointments in their Calendar
Web Access
BigPond Premium Mail mailboxes (and all their associated features) can be accessed from any PC with web access and a web browser. This means staff can access their mailbox from home, the office or their laptop, with no complicated set-up or configuration hassles. This Outlook Web Access is almost identical to the familiar fully-installed version of Microsoft Outlook.
Each BigPond Premium Mail account comes with a mailbox and a Sent Items folder. This gives staff their own email address, plus the ability to send and receive emails. Each mailbox includes 20MB of message storage, with extra storage available (fees apply)5.
Contacts
Contacts databases help staff to store, manage and access essential details for all the people they need to contact. Details (email, phone numbers, etc) can be organised by individual, or grouped into lists. And shared contacts help all team members to contact key customers, suppliers, each other and internal staff.
Calendar
The BigPond Premium Mail Calendar gives team members an electronic diary to help plan and manage activities and appointments. Shared calendars can also be used to manage reservations for common resources like meeting rooms. With online access from anywhere, this can help mobile staff avoid time wasting and conflict over double bookings.
Tasks
Tasks let staff create electronic 'to-do' lists for themselves. Items can be added, marked for future follow-up, and 'crossed off' when completed. It's a great way to stay organised and on top of activities or complex projects.
Public (shared) Folders
Shared folders provide a file where anyone on your team can place items for other team members to access. These could be anything from email information (using a shared inbox) through to bookings for shared company resources like cars and meeting rooms (using a shared calendar).
Notes
The Notes feature generates handy electronic yellow 'sticky notes' which you can use to capture ideas, phone numbers, contact details and other important information for later.
Anti-virus Software
There's more to our anti-virus software than security protection. It can help you save time lost because of viruses, because BigPond Premium Mail does away with the inconvenience and cost of purchasing, installing and updating email anti-virus software for your business.
Off-site Backup
Because all the information you use with BigPond Premium Mail (including your email inbox, sent items, calendar entries, contact lists, etc) are stored on our powerful Exchange servers, you have an automatic off-site backup. For example, if your PDA fails, for example, you won't lose all your contacts and appointments.

6.9 Other than for the liability we accept under this clause 6, we exclude all other liability whether to you or a third party for breach of contract, negligence or breach of any other law.
