Hi I am going around in circles.
I have updated the settings as requested.
When I confirm, it says there is an error so re-try. It is driving me mad.
Have I done it right ? ?

Welcome to the journey on Community. Do you think you could sign back in and carry on. No going in circles and not as zig-zaggy as The Stelvio pass but worth navigating for the end result.

Hi John
I've removed the attachment for the security of your personal data. And no you haven't quite got the Outlook settings right as you need to tick the box for My outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication. But even then the app will not authenticate a connection because device access has been withdrawn as per the notification from TalkTalk.
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.
So other than Outlook that needs the outgoing authentication tick box ticking are there any other access methods you are using?
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.
