Tiscali email not syncing to outlook

oldtimer1 — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 22:21:34 GMT

I have 4 tiscali email addresses which were all working today upto this afternoon. One of my email addresses i use for company business stopped working and will not now sync with my other email addresses in outlook.

i use incoming mail imap.tiscali.co.uk port 993

outgoing mail STARTLS port 587

It looks as though TALK TALK have cocked things up again! Can someone please sort this out and rectify the problem urgently.

Thanks

@oldtimer1 are you able to access the emails when using webmail?

Thank you for this @oldtimer1, just to double check, when accessing your emails via webmail, are you still unable to sync other email addresses?

Thank you for this. There's seems to be an issue with the outlook App as most clients are experiencing different issues. Have you tried getting in touch with Outlook over this matter as this is a 3rd-party incident?

No. When i have had problems before (not this one), Outlook refer me back to my ISP.

if it helps, the email in question begins wit an "A" and is the first one listed on my Tiscali emails below outlook emails.... This email has also been subject to a number of spam emails each week since around March this year! Could spam be a reason why Outlook would not sync this email now?

Another point i forgot to mention is that this problem occurred yesterday when Talk Talk was showing many problems on TALK TALK Down Detector!

Hi @oldtimer1

I have been doing more work on this and I am not convinced this is actually a TalkTalk issue. It looks like something has caused the SMTP mail server (outgoing emails) password to be erased in the email client. Alternatively, your email address can be reported as being incorrect.

Thunderbird is simple; putting the password back seems to have resolved the issue.

New Outlook for Windows can be a bit more complex. For more details, please see my post #20 in this thread of mine:-

Hi KeithFrench

I redone my email address and password yesterday evening and it looks as though this has now solved the problem. Not sure if it was due to this or the tech team in TALKTALK making it a coincidence!

Anyway grateful for your help.

Thanks
