How I can change my Email adresse from TalkTalk to Yahoo

liberto — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 10:52:07 GMT

My sincere greetings to all;

How can I change my email address?... I would like to change my current TalkTalk.net email address to my Yahoo email account, but the TalkTalk website doesn't give me that option, telling me I should be connected to the TalkTalk Wi-Fi network. I work/use TalkTalk through my TalkTalk subscription for internet access, and the help link never helps because it's always loading... so I'm reaching out to all of you in case someone can help me with this problem. I've been trying for several months now... but without success.

Thank you very much if anyone can help me. Thank you.

Liberto

Sorry, but what exactly are you trying to change and under what circumstances?

You cant just change an email address as they are 2 separate companies.

If you already have 2 email addresses, are you trying to change one for another as a logon to a system?

Or are you wishing to access both under one application? If so on what devices?

Using a third party client like Thunderbird on any of your devices will give you access to both email addresses at the same time.

I'm struggling to actually , what you mean by changing your email address so hope the above helps, but if not please expand upon what you are trying to do.

Thank you.

First of all, thank you so much for your prompt response and attempt to help me.

I would like to completely delete my TalkTalk.net Webmail account and have all future messages from TalkTalk sent to my Yahoo.co.uk account. However, when I try to do this through My Account on the TalkTalk website, it won't let me, displaying the following message:

"Online bills are sent to this email address. Your device must be connected to your TalkTalk Wi-Fi network to change your account email address."

And the link for help never works! It just keeps loading.

My router and internet connection are working fine at the moment.

This problem has been happening for a few months now, which is why I decided to seek help here with you.

Thanks again for your interest in helping me.

Sincerely, Liberto

Ah, thanks for clarifying.

Providing you are on the TalkTalk broadband connection there should be no issue, or are you an email customer only with no broadband?

We do sometimes see some funny things on my account and you could try the following.

If you are using any pop up or ad blockers, turn these off for the TalkTalk domain.
Try clearing the cache on your browser
Try a different browser. If possible download a new one and don't add any extensions
If you have changed your DNS servers and are a TalkTalk broadband customer, try changing back to TalkTalk DNS.

I'll leave you to decide the order you try these in.

If you are a mail only customer or still have issues after trying this, please add both your TalkTalk and Yahoo email addresses to your private notes field in your profile, which only you and staff can see, so they can look into further on their return Monday.

When I try to click to send replies to messages, I almost always get a yellow warning saying it's not possible... but I've noticed it works about half the time despite the warning.
On the other hand, the number 1 constantly appears next to my avatar, as if there were a message to read... and when I click (on/over my avatar), nothing appears except the bell icon... not the email button. I would like to take this opportunity (IF IT WORKS) to thank you all for your kindness, patience, and always professional help, and to apologize for my poor English. amahle-TT

@llibert Looking into the account it has already been updated to your yahoo email address.

@fr8ys Any advice on this would be appreciated

@mandisa1-TT

This seems to be a different issue to that originally reported.

@llibert

Can you answer the following please so we are certain what your issue is please?

1. have you managed to change your email address in my Account now as this was your original issue?

2. Are you now experiencing issues sending emails using your TalkTalk email address?

@mandisa1-TT @amahle-TT if number 1 is still an issue, I think you will need to intervene and manually change the customers email address in My Account for them. Sorry just noted you have mentioned this is now ok.

If issue 2 is now also an issue for the customer, then this is similar to 2 other recent events over the weekend I have responded to and raised with @lorrainef over the weekend. This again is nothing I can help with and will require yours or the tech teams advice

@fr8ys Thank you so much for the support, judging from the last message I thought the issue might be with the Email address the customer uses on Community profile, as they mentioned the Avator and an issue when posting.

We have checked the customer's account, and the email address has already been changed to Yahoo

Re: How I can change my Email adresse from TalkTalk to Yahoo

fr8ys — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 10:54:53 GMT

@mandisa1-TT

If it is with the customers Yahoo email, then they will need to consult Yahoo for a solution.

@llibert can you confirm which email address is giving you issues please.

My email is working fine now thanks to the changes you helped me make.

The problem is with the TalkTalk Community page (which we're using to communicate). My avatar always shows the number 1, as if something is pending. When I click on the avatar, a menu appears with only the bell icon; the email envelope icon is missing.

But the most important thing is that whenever I try to reply to your posts or messages to thank you, I almost always get a message on a yellow background saying that the action cannot be completed. That's all. I'm happy to be able to greet you and thank you again for your continued interest and appreciated help. fr8ys
