Can login via browser, but all other clients fail on authentication
Tuesday
Message 3 of 3
Recently found that my Em client software was failing to connect with authentication error. Also my Ipad email was failing to authenticate, but I could login via the web browser to view my email.
I changed the password via the browser, but the other clients still failed.
I asked a friend for help and they installed and tried Thunderbird on my PC, with the same issue.
They then tried Thunderbird on my Android phone, same issue.
There is obviously something, a setting at the Talk Talk end that only allows my mailbox to be accessed via a browser and not a client. Can this be corrected please.
I am 100% confident all the settings used are correct.

Hi,
You are in the staff's queue for a response.
For a quicker reply can you please ensure you have your personal information up to date in your profile including your TalkTalk landline phone number so your account can be traced. Link here - https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/user/myprofilepage/tab/personal-profile:personal-info
If you are unsure of your phone number, you can find this in My Account or dial 17070 from your landline phone and this will confirm the number for you.
You can also add your account number in the private notes field, which only you and the support staff can view.
Also could you please include the affected email address in the private notes field. If it's a tinyworld one, others are now reporting a recent issue is fixed so could you please try again.
Please post back when done.
Thank you
