e-mail upgrade with windows 8 and windows live mail

edgy-td19 — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 19:58:39 GMT

I have a computer running on windows 8 and for e-mails windows live mail. Currently I can only receive, and not send e-mails. I am linked to the Talk talk web page so not locked out. I have tried the pop 3 information to update the changes requested by talk talk, but all it does not then send or receive at all.

The alterations did not request a certificate authentication. is there something that I am missing or any other rescue package I can try.

Cheers.

Regrettably Windows Live Mail (WLM) does not support secure mail so will no longer work. It's way out of date and does not receive any security upgrades.

You can use TalkTalk Mail webmail via a secure up to date browser. The upgrade path from WLM is to use Windows Mail on Windows 10 or 11 or if your device is up to date buy a paid upgrade to Outlook 365 or download the free Thunderbird or BlueMail desktop email software. I can help with new software.

If you saw the message from TalkTalk advising "Our records show that you are still accessing your email using unencrypted email settings, because of this you will no longer be able to receive or send emails via this email app or software" then the email address receiving that notification has been limited to webmail only access as a last resort action by TalkTalk to stop the use of insecure email.

TalkTalk Mail webmail is secure by design using an up to date Internet browser.

Select here: Sign in to TalkTalk Mail

Enter your full TalkTalk Mail email address and password, select Sign in.

You will be able to get email access restored to email apps or software including mail collection services so long as you're ready to use up to date and secure email settings for all the ways you view emails. We can advise on device and software compatibility and provide customer setup guides. Just let us know each mail collection service, each device, its operating system and email software including version that are in current use.

For a definitive check of settings take screenshots of the incoming and outgoing server settings, image edit to obscure the first part of the email address and upload here using the Camera icon (desktop browser) or Picture icon (mobile browser) above this reply area.

When you confirm the secure settings are ready I can request TalkTalk Support to restore full access. TalkTalk Support will respond here and access will be restored usually within a couple of working days.
