This error usually means that the email program (Outlook or another email client) cannot authenticate the password for the BigPond servers. Double-check that the password was entered correctly in the email settings. Even if you are confident that the password is correct, try changing it, as there may be errors associated with the password, possibly due to updates not applied across all interfaces. First, log in directly to your BigPond email on the web to verify that the current password is working. If successful, enter the same password into the email client where the problem persists.
