Hi G4RCGJohn
Please cease using Outlook 2010 because it is inherently insecure, does not receive Microsoft security updates and does not support StartTLS as required for TalkTalk Mail.
If you saw the message from TalkTalk advising "Our records show that you are still accessing your email using unencrypted email settings, because of this you will no longer be able to receive or send emails via this email app or software" then the email address receiving that notification has been limited to webmail only access as a last resort action by TalkTalk to stop the use of insecure email.
TalkTalk Mail webmail is secure by design using an up to date Internet browser.
Select here: Sign in to TalkTalk Mail
Enter your full TalkTalk Mail email address and password, select Sign in.
You will be able to get email access restored to email apps or software including mail collection services, passwords will then re-authenticate, so long as you're ready to use up to date and secure email settings for all the ways you view emails. We can advise on device and software compatibility and provide customer setup guides. Just let us know each mail collection service, each device, its operating system and email software including version that are in current use.
Do you have any other devices / email software? The upgrade path from Outlook 2010 is a paid upgrade to Outlook 2016 / 365 etc or Windows Mail as part of the Windows 10 or 11 package or free email software like Thunderbird or BlueMail desktop so long as your Windows PC Operating system is at least Windows 7 although this OS is also beyond end of life support. Windows 10 / 11 are recommended.
For a definitive check of settings take screenshots of the incoming and outgoing server settings, image edit to obscure the first part of the email address and upload here using the Camera icon (desktop browser) or Picture icon (mobile browser) above this reply area.
When you confirm the secure settings are ready I can request TalkTalk Support to restore full access. TalkTalk Support will respond here and access will be restored usually within a couple of working days.
