Hi, I have tried to update my settings in Outlook in line with talktalks request but despite everything I cannot receive or send emails. I tried setting up a dummy email account in talktalk and linking that to Outlook but it won't link. I phoned talktalk and they won't help because I am using Outlook. I hope someone may be able to help me. I am using quite an old version of Outlook (2007) so don't know if this is relevant but according to Google it supports encryption. Thanks.

Google doesn't tell you the whole truth. Outlook 2007 does not support secure mail encryption to the required TLS 1.2 standard. It has older standards that are all hackable and are deprecated. You must cease using Outlook 2007, take it offline and never allow it to connect to your TalkTalk mailbox ever again.
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.
Other than Outlook 2007 do you use any other devices / software to access the mailbox? The upgrade path is to go to Outlook 2016 or later, preferably Outlook 365 on Windows 10 or 11. There's Windows Mail as part of the Windows 10 or 11 package. Or if your Operating system is compatible, use Thunderbird or BlueMail desktop email apps.
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.
