I received an email on my tiscali account advising to update my settings on my email software. I have been unable to change these settings as it was initially set up on a computer I can no longer access so I only use a phone app to sent and receive emails and these are no longer working. I either get an error saying mail.talktalk.net isn't responding or POP3/IMAP access isn't turned on. I cannot access how to changes these settings

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 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.
If you think the old computer is still accessing your mailbox using insecure settings then change the mailbox password. What settings are on the phone app? Were they previously insecure settings? The app will not authenticate new settings until TalkTalk restore access to the mailbox.
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.
