Hi BADMC,

 

How are you getting on, has Gondola's advice helped?

Telnet smtp.talktalk.net 587

220 cm1nec smtp.talktalk.net ESMTP server ready

 

Working just fine.

 

If you saw the message from TalkTalk advising "Our records show that you are still accessing your email using unencrypted email settings..." then the email address receiving that notification has now been limited to webmail only access OR has a stop on sending mail as a last resort action by TalkTalk to stop the use of email connections not secured by TLS 1.2 encryption.

 

TalkTalk Mail webmail is secure by design when 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.

 

A stop on sending is easily resolved by using currently supported email software and secure email settings as shown in the Email Settings guide below.

 

We can advise on device and software compatibility with TLS 1.2 encryption 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 email 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.

 

Prepare for TalkTalk Support - include in the Community Profile (not in these public posts):

and TalkTalk or MailPlus customer account number
