Email alias with email sending

[JimmyT]

Hi,

I have a TPG email-only POP3 account (I am with a different ISP). My email is downloaded via my Windows Outlook app via POP3 into an outlook.com email account/data file. This is because outlook.com provides 50GB of free email storage vs TPG IMAP only 2GB.

This downloading is a bit unreliable so I'd like to instead use TPG's email forwarding to the outlook.com address.

Currently I have a send-only email account in the Windows Outlook app with the smtp server set to mail.tpg.com.au and specify my username and password. This allows me to send from the outllok.com mailbox and send as my TPG email address.

My question though: If I change my TPG email account from POP3 to email forwarding instead, can I still send emails as my tpg email address from my Windows Outlook app? Will this still work if I move from POP3 email address to email forwarding?

Thanks.

Hi @JimmyT 

A TPG Email Forwarding plan allows emails sent to a nominated TPG email account, or any attached email aliases to be forwarded to one outside email address nominated by the Customer for one year. The email forwarding service does not provide the Customer with any other email facilities, storage or Internet access. Virus filtration is performed, but SPAM or Junk Email filtration is not available.

You'll not be able to send out emails once it is converted to the Email forwarding plan.
