TalkTalk misbehaving

Billx — Fri, 15 May 2026 09:12:46 GMT

All right, TalkTalk webmail has gone berserk.

I have 4 TalkTalk email addresses. The 4 appear in TalkTalk Email Manager, at https://apps.talktalk.co.uk/myaccount/#/login

However, going to https://apps.talktalk.co.uk/myaccount/#/login in Google browser,

takes me to https://apps.talktalk.co.uk/myaccount/#/subscribe

This is a newly-added section in TalkTalk Email Manager, added to the existing sections, 'Home' and 'Mailbox Manager'

It is in the 'Mailbox Manager' section that my usual 4 TalkTalk email addresses were and are still displayed.

There was no reason at all, to have the additional 'Subscribe to Everymail' section.

Going to the usual Log into TalkTalk webmail web address, https://apps.talktalk.co.uk/appsuite/,

and logging in with any of my 4 TalkTalk email addresses,

I get the following notice overlaid on top of that webmail window (note, it is not an email):

The only way to get rid of this notice is to click 'Remind me later', which I did.

After getting rid of that notice, there is the additional notice at the top of the webmail window, with the red background. It says: "Don't wait - Subscribe to Everymail by 26 May 2026 or you will lose the ability to send mails - |Subscribe button|" :

Also, logging into the TalkTalk email address, being the admin TalkTalk email address

I have received 2 emails from TalkTalk as follows:

Important information about your TalkTalk Mail

Hello,

We’ve written to you previously to let you know about a change to your TalkTalk email.

While you’re no longer a TalkTalk broadband customer, we’ve continued to provide your email service free of charge for some time. However, with this change, we’re no longer able to offer it at no cost.

We know how important your email service is, so we want to help you understand your options if you’d like to keep using it.

What you need to know and do

If you’ve recently rejoined us and taken our broadband service - welcome back to TalkTalk - then please get in touch so we can reconnect your TalkTalk Mail account for you. Once that’s done, we’ll also make sure you’re removed from these notifications.
Equally, if you’re a longstanding customer and think you’ve received this email in error, apologies – please get in touch and we can look into it for you.
If you no longer require this email service, you don’t need to do anything. We will close your account from 7 July 2026 and it will no longer be possible to access it and send or receive emails. Emails received after the account is closed will be automatically returned to sender as undeliverable. Your emails and data, including your email address, will be permanently deleted and not possible to recover.
If you would like to keep using this email service and/or retain access to this email address, you’ll need to sign up to a third-party email service called Everymail. Everymail is provided by our partner Open-Xchange, who manage your existing TalkTalk email service

It looks like both emails originated in the US.

The first took 2 hours to arrive, and the second took 3 1/2 hours.

The 2 emails are almost the same, but not the same.

So, there are 4 errors initiated by TalkTalk.

I guess I’ll have to do some talking,

@Billx there are no staff here any longer so you will need to do some talking as you say.

Did you miss the Peer to Peer pinned notice? If so please see my signature for ways to contact TalkTalk.

You do need to act to retain your emails.

Please see my pinned post here for more details and the action you need to take depending on your circumstances.

@fr8ys

I am well aware of peer to peer.

But where are the peers?

No need to be rude @Billx .

The forum is still moderated.

I called TalkTalk, and did some talking. Initially rang 0345 1720074, but the system took me to 03451720088, the usual number. So, 0345 1720074, is equivalent to 03451720088, an alias.

I gave my 4 TalkTalk email addresses to the agent, to be re-associated with my TalkTalk Full Fibre broadband account.

I was assured that it will be done in 48 working hours, i.e. Tuesday 12:00

This also proves that even if one's email addresses are all listed in the so-called Mailbox Manager, they are not necessarily associated with the customer's broadband account, I think.

48 working hours later, i.e. after Tuesday 12:00.

I checked the 4 TalkTalk email addresses.

2 of the 4 email addresses appear to be fully fixed, i.e no notices to subscribe to Everymail.

(Also, the additional 'Subscribe to Everymail' section, within Mailbox Manager, has been correctly removed.)

The other 2 email addresses, which I use more, are not fully fixed .

Those 2, when logging into the email address, continue to show the big white notice, urging the customer to subscribe to Everymail

After clicking the "Remind me later" button, and being logged in to the email address, the thin red horizontal banner at the top of the email window, again urging the customer to subscribe to Everymail, continues to be displayed.

Anyway, I have done some more talk at 0345 1720088, and I am assured that everything will be OK after another 48 working hours.

Thank you, peers.

48 working-day hours later, i.e. after Thursday 12:00.

The situation now is, as was on Tuesday 12:00. TalkTalk has done nothing since Tuesday 12:00

And it's getting awfully close to the limit of 26th May 2026, when TalkTalk has warned me, that sending of any emails will be stopped.

There is no problem with 2 of my TalkTalk email addresses

For the other 2 TalkTalk email addresses, when logging into the email address, continues to show the big white notice, urging the customer to subscribe to Everymail

I note that on both the pop-up white notice and the thin red notice at the top of the email window, there is a "Subscribe" button.

Clicking on either of the 2 "Subscribe" buttons, leads me to log into the TalkTalk Email Addresses manager (Not the Everymail Manager). So no harm, at all, done.

I guess some more talk from me is warranted at 0345 1720088.

Re: TalkTalk misbehaving

Billx — Thu, 21 May 2026 13:07:22 GMT

I just made the 3rd call to 0345 1720088.

The agent confirmed that the "form" has been sent 2 times, on Friday, and on Tuesday

She thought that maybe the 48 hours might not have expired yet,

I insisted that it had. First one ignores weekend days and Public holiday Mondays. Then it's 2 days away from the time of the original call.

Anyway, she agreed that we re-send the "form" for the remaining 2 ill-functioning email addresses.

I looks like sending/resending the form is the only thing that can be done, at 0345 1720088 / 0345 1720074

Re: TalkTalk misbehaving

Billx — Sat, 23 May 2026 13:21:10 GMT

Even though the full 48 workday hours have not elapsed, I just ckecked all my 4 TalkTalk email addresses.

The remaining 2 ill-functioning TalkTalk email addresses, have now been fixed.

Logging into ANY of the 4 email addresses, does NOT bring up the big white notice, urging the customer to subscribe to Everymail. Within ANY of the 4 email addresses, there is NO thin red horizontal banner at the top of the email window, also urging the customer to subscribe to Everymail.

Logging into the TalkTalk Email Addresses Manager, at https://apps.talktalk.co.uk/myaccount/?#/mailbox-manager ,

shows me my 4 TalkTalk email addresses, with NO references to Everymail.

The separate section, "Subscribe to Everymail" has not returned.

Everything seems now, to be hunkey-dory.

Good to know that all seems sorted, @Billx.

Thanks for the update.

Oh, I nearly forgot. Apart from the 2 emails, detailed in my 1st post, I have not received any other such emails.
