We’re aware that some of our customers are having problems with their Tiscali email service. 

The issue only seems to be impacting email clients such as Outlook. The webmail service is working as normal.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience this is causing, we're working hard to get things back up and running as quickly as possible.

 

Please check you have the current upto date email settings as below:

 

Email settings | SMTP, IMAP & POP3 | TalkTalk Help & Support

 

 

Further updates can be found here Service Status | TalkTalk Help & Support

Hi TinaWei, please start a new topic and we'll be happy to help you get this sorted. You have the wrong settings.

Hi Itk007, if you start a new topic and include the sender domains I'll add them to the list for the incident.

For the last few days, some emails sent to my tiscali mailbox have just not arrived and do NOT appear via the webmail service either.  Senders are not receiving any indication that the emails have not arrived at the destination. This appears to affect some sender domains only - I have changed the registered email address to non TalkTalk associated emails addresses and am slowly migrating away from TT email domains as the service is unreliable.

Hi, mine was set to tiscal.co.uk so changed both to talktalk.net which appears to have resolved the problem. Can only assume a change has come about without informing the users. Why am I not surprised?!

Thanks

Tiscali is the original company before Talk Talk took over. When it did my Tiscali address remained the same. The suggestion is that we are now outdated and all settings should be talk.talk.net. However, it maybe that there was a fault that Talk Talk have addressed and all is resumed... Haven't tested this though...

I wasn't aware that settings perhaps needed to change. Emails stopped coming in so tried changing the imap server from tiscali.co.uk to talktalk.net and the same for smtp and it all started working again....

Did not know there are new email settings for tiscali.  What are they.  I will try it out once I know what they are.

Just to clarify that i did not change the server to talktalk.net. It is now working as tiscali.co.uk as usual.

Message 11 of 28

Seems that the answer is yes. Changing my i phone out going mail settings from smpt.tiscali.co.uk to smpt.talktalk.net cleared the lack of out going mail.

But why don't they tell us this instead of having to endlessly search for the info ?

Ady,  thanks that did work on my i phone. Changed from smtp tiscali to smpt talktalk.net for out going mail. This problem only occurred about 20 or so hours ago.

 

Strange that only iphone affected as my WinPC is OK.

 

Would have been good in the interests of customer satisfaction to have flagged this change up earlier by another means, an email to all Tiscali users would have saved a lot of angst ?

This email from talktalk concerns tiscali email and yet it suggests to check email settings and then shows the server as talktalk.net!

My tiscali email has always been set to 

imap.tiscali.co.uk and smtp.tiscali.co.uk 

 

Is this correct or has talktalk changed the server without informing me and other tiscali users?  If so you have just wasted two days of my time trying to get my email to work!

Hi LowFlyer, if you can make sure you have the correct settings in your mail client and reboot it after you change you'll find it works normally.

All TalkTalk domains use the TalkTalk.net settings now.

The recommended settings refer to talktalk not tiscali, are they the same?

You may be aware of the problem but the inability to send emails for more than 17 hours is having an impact. And with no predicted fix in sight ?

It is not just impacting clients on Outlook but those with a Tiscali address as well..

Incoming mail is OK but one does need to reply !!

Hi darayus, have you removed the email account from the client and added it again as a new account with the new settings? If not please do and remember to reboot after making the changes to ensure the new information is saved.
