TalkTalk is an internet and email provider that is harnessed across the UK.

However, this morning the service has been experiencing problems with its email arm, with a swathe of customers reporting they are unable to log-in and access their messages.

Independent outage monitor Down Detector has registered over 300 reports at one time from customers insisting the service is not working as it should be.

“What’s happening? This has shut down my business.”

Another said: “TalkTalk email down via Outlook. Cannot connect to server (3011)on 3 devices.

“Webmail fine. Weston S Mare area.”

A third declared: “Hi can’t access any emails from my iPhone or iPad.

“Can access webmail ok but both apple devices just say fault. Any ideas?”

Some customers have also posted an image of the error message they are receiving.

The alert read: “The mail server ‘mail.talk.talk.net’ is not responding.

“Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings.”
