New email settings

I am having the same issue. My email won't receive on any device so I only have Webmail. I also have a new laptop but it won't allow me to set up talktalk through Outlook.

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.

Outlook 365 supports secure mail and to update go via the Advanced setup settings of an email profile, as in this example for Windows 10 or 11.

Select the Windows icon bottom left
Select the Settings cog icon
Select Accounts
Select Email & Accounts and for a first time setup select Add Account and enter the settings in the table
Or select the email account
Select Change account or double click on the email account

At that point on your device you ought to see the Outlook setup to enter the TalkTalk Mail server settings: NB All talktalk domains use the exact same secure settings.

Supported Outlook 365 settings are:

Account Type	IMAP secure
Username	Full TalkTalk email address
Password	TalkTalk email password
Incoming mail server	mail.talktalk.net
Incoming Port (IMAP)	993
Incoming Connection Security	SSL/TLS
Outgoing mail server	smtp.talktalk.net
Outgoing Port	587
Outgoing Connection Security	STARTTLS
My Outgoing Server Requires Authentication	Yes
Authentication Method	Normal Password (Not SPA)

However, the account will not authenticate a connection until TalkTalk restore full access.

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.

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

Email account holder name

Scroll down to Private notes to add the email address(es)
and TalkTalk or MailPlus customer account number

Check and Save changes

Select here: Update your profile

All done. Can it be 'restored' please? Thanks

Absolutely. I've requested that full access is restored for the email address mailbox in your Community profile Private notes.

TalkTalk Support will respond here and access returned within a couple of days after that. Until then use TalkTalk Mail webmail via an up to date Internet browser to keep in touch with email contacts.

Hi 8LLG8, I've added your mailbox to those to be restored to normal function. Please allow 48 hours for the change to complete.
