Hi there team I'm a little confused with email slaves, aliases etc. With my last isp my family had several email addresses eg. myaccount@optusnet.com.au mywifesaccount@optusnet.com.au mybusinessemailaccount@optus..... and I wish to set us up similarly now that we're with TPG I first thought these would be aliases but then read that any aliases would divert to my main account myusername@tpg.com Ok so it must be slave accounts that I need to set up but then read once I set up a slave account my main email account gets disabled? So now I'm a bit lost Heeeeeeeelp !!! please brains-trust :)

Hi Shane thanks for your response Im having no problem checking mail via the TPG post office so it appears that the username and password are valid and Im setting up the account on Windows Mail with the correct pop 3 mail settings as per https://www.tpg.com.au/support/emailsetting so that's not it... here's a screenshot of what Im doing. Im not familiar with ssl is that perhaps something that should be un-ticked ? Thanks a lot :)

Hi there, having just taken up an NBN plan Im trying to use Windows Mail as an email client for my main TPG email address and it keeps telling me my username or password are incorrect though Ive checked it serveral times. Ive also tried Thunderbird as an email client and am having the same issue Any ideas ? Thank you :)
