Talktalk not setting up
Hi, I'm using Thunderbird okay for my Gmail account, no probs, but, I cannot get my talktalk email account set up on it. The settings are correct, honest! mail, port, password etc. I'm getting back; failed to connect to mail.talktalk.net/153.92.174.230 (port 993) from /193.168.1.17 (port 40740 after 3000ms: isConnected failed: ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) It's strange, almost as talktalk isn't there.

Are you using any security app, VPN or firewall that could be blocking the connection. If so, please try after disabling them.
The issue is on the network communication side rather than authentication. See if the issue also exhibits on both wifi and cellular network.
Having you tested since you posted to rule out a temporary server issue on talktalk's end?
