ADD-ONS

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.

Email

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).⁶

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.
