Overview

• TalkTalk this week confirmed it will charge £5 per month (or £60 per year) for email accounts moved off its network to Everymail.
• The company has begun notifying hundreds of thousands of former broadband customers to sign up or risk losing their TalkTalk address.
• Starting July 31, non-subscribers will lose the ability to send emails, with mailboxes frozen on September 9 and full deletions scheduled for October 31.
• Users who opt out can download their emails, contacts and calendar entries at no cost using tools provided by TalkTalk.
• The shift follows Plusnet’s migration to Greenby and reflects ISPs’ efforts to pass on rising email infrastructure and security costs.
