Why Can I send TalkTalk Emails but Not Receive Them?

Are you sending emails to your family members but not receiving any emails back? Maybe you are receiving them but they are disappearing? This might have to do with how you are using webmail. Are you on a computer browser or a mobile browser?

TalkTalk email software functions best with mobile email apps that are using the IMAP setting. The POP3 setting can be deleting messages and cause receiving errors. Therefore, it’s best to switch to a personal (IMAP) email account.

Additionally, you need to check your IMAP incoming and outgoing server settings. You might need to change the mail server names to ensure that the incoming server is prefixed by mail and the outgoing server is prefixed by SMTP. Verify you are utilizing the correct settings by visiting this support page.
