Hi oloorijay
I've obscured your MyAccount email login address in order to protect your account security.
I get the feeling that your email password has been compromised and the password changed so we'll proceed on that basis.
If you don't recognise the password recovery reset details for the email address from the *****hint and there's no 'phone number that you recognise then we'll need to ask TalkTalk Support to set up new Reset details for you.
I'll let TalkTalk know that the password recovery options aren't available. A TalkTalk Support member will need to verify you as the registered email user and set up your password recovery alternate email address and mobile number (the Reset details) so you can send a password reset link or code to authenticate a password change.
Prepare for TalkTalk Support - include in the Community Profile (not in these public posts):
Account holder name, TalkTalk home 'phone number (if not Data Only broadband)
Alternative mobile contact number. Full address with postcode (in the Location box)
Scroll down to Private notes to add the email address needing recovery
Check and Save changes
Select here: Update your profile
A TalkTalk Support member will reply to this thread and then Community Personal Message you to confirm your customer account details and or details related to the original registration of the email address.
When verified the Reset details will be set up during a working week within 24 hours allowing you to set your own password via the Forgotten your password journey. Make sure the password is ultra-strong and unique to the mailbox. Check via the TalkTalk Mail sign in that you can access the mailbox.
For a compromised mailbox I'd always suggest scanning your email devices for viruses and malware before changing any password.
Use the new password to access via the TalkTalk Mail sign in check there's no Auto forward or Filter rule diverting your mail messages.
- Select the Main Settings menu icon triple line icon top right on the blue header
(Mobile browser? use the desktop version)
- Select Settings from the top of the menu
- Select the inward facing arrowhead by Mail (or Email) in the left side panel
- Select Filter Rules
If you see There is no rule defined then you need go no further.
- To delete a Filter rule including any Auto forward
select the Dustbin icon to the right of the rule
The icon background will turn red
- To confirm you really want to delete this Filter rule
Select the blue Delete button
Let us know if you need more guidance.
