Explain.

Do they work via webmail?

Select here: Sign in to TalkTalk Mail

Enter your full TalkTalk Mail email address and password, select Sign in. Test sending and receiving by composing and sending a test message to test-mail@talktalk.net and wait for an auto response in the Inbox. Sign out using the sign out icon top right before trying another email address.

If some don't work via an email client or email app then those mailboxes may have been limited to webmail only as a last resort action to stop the use of insecure mail settings. Do you see a notification email from TalkTalk about continued use of insecure settings?

So, tell us what devices or mail services you use for email. What Operating system and what email software and version number.

Do you see a notification email from TalkTalk about continued use of insecure settings?

TalkTalk will notify you in advance of TalkTalk Mail being limited to webmail only access if:

You're not a TalkTalk Consumer home broadband customer or MailPlus subscriber
Or the mailbox address is not added to an active customer MyAccount
Any device email software, email app, or mail collection service connects to your mailbox using insecure settings
Secure mail connections to your mailbox must all be made using a minimum of TLS 1.2 encryption security and sign in using the email address and email password
There's continued use of out of date email software, operating system or legacy email settings
We can advise on device and software compatibility and provide customer setup guides

What model iPhone and what model iPad? What iOS Operating systems are each running?

And are you using any other services or devices to access the mailboxes? Desktop, notebook, laptop, other tablet or phone? All must use secure settings.

Not being able to login to a MailPlus MyAccount is a long standing unfixed issue related to the MyAccount protection process not allowing changes to a MyAccount login when using a non-TalkTalk IP address. It's unrelated to the current issue of your mailboxes being limited to webmail only as a last resort action to stop the use of insecure settings.

The good news is that your i-devices are capable of secure mail. Guides below for you to double check.

I'll request TalkTalk Support to restore full access. You'll need to put the email addresses needing attention in the Community profile Private notes box so TalkTalk can pick those up.

Prepare for TalkTalk Support - include in the Community Profile (not in these public posts):

MailPlus account holder name

Alternative mobile contact number. Full address with postcode (in the Location box)

Scroll down to Private notes to add the email addresses needing restoring to full access and the MailPlus MyAccount account number

Check and Save changes

Select here: Update your profile

Thanks for updating the Community profile. The request to restore mailboxes to full access is in. TalkTalk Support will respond here asap from Tuesday onwards.

I've checked and it seems my colleague didn't get chance to do these yet. I've asked him to restore them today.
