Since a change talktalk made to my account last Tuesday neither IMAP nor Pop3 mail service is working. Previously I had mail clients on windows and IOS working quite happily. Checked all the settings are as per talktalk guides but still not working. Same account access credentials work fine in the browser interface. This happened before following a server infrastructure change at talktalk migrating legacy pipex domain accounts.

Hi Aoyg00, I've added your mailbox to those to be restored to normal function. Please allow 48 hours for the change to complete.

It's happened because one of the devices / software you're using has connected to your mailbox using insecure settings or out of date encryption. So we need to help you identify the culprit.
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.
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.
