Add my onetel email to My Account to change the password

[Brianpercy]

Hi there

I need to change my onetel email password. I can access webmail fie, but there is no provision to change the password. I accessed "My Account", and I could not find a way to add an email, nor could I find any provision to create a new one for that email. My email from Talktalk suggests I "setup recovery details", but when I click on that link I cannot find any provision to do it! Thanks, Don Bull (aka Brianpercy)

Hi @Brianpercy 

If you can access TalkTalk Mail (webmail) then you can set up Reset details because that's on the main settings menu. You can then change the password using the forgotten password button in the help page Changing your email password 

Select here:  Sign in to TalkTalk Mail

Enter your onetel email address, select Continue.

Enter your onetel email password, select Sign in.

Select the main settings menu - triple line icon top right header or cog icon for a mobile browser.  Then select the menu item Update your reset details to add an alternate active email address and mobile phone number to receive a password reset.

When you've got a new password you can also go via MyAccount to add the onetel email address. Managing your email in My Account - select email not showing in MyAccount.

To add an existing mailbox you just need to enter the first part of the email address, select the correct onetel domain and enter the email password and select the Add button.

Let us know how you get on.

Thank you so much. That worked a dream. Not exactly intuitive, but easy when you know how!

I wish it was that easy to change my password on a hotmail account that I took on years before I owned a mobile phone!

best wishes
