We will teach you exactly what to do so that not only all your existing emails but also all the upcoming emails automatically reroute from the source(TalkTalk) to the destination (Gmail). Let us first see what differences exist between the two that prompt a user migration from one to another.

How Do I Forward All Emails from TalkTalk ID Manually?

There are two ways you can either push out emails from TalkTalk and into Gmail or use Gmail’s internal feature to pull in the email data.

Let’s go over the pushing route first.

• Step 1. Log in to your TalkTalk webmail account 
• Step 2. Then, select one or more email messages.
• Step 3. In the toolbar, you will see a forward icon (arrow pointing to the right), click it.
• Step 4. Then, use either the More actions icon in the detail view or the context menu in the email list view.
• Step 5. Select your Gmail account as the recipient.
• Step 6. Fill in the details for sending the email and hit Send.

For using the alternative manual method 

• Step 1. In your Gmail ID, click on the tiny gear 
• Step 2. Click on “See all settings”.
• Step 3. Go to the Accounts and Import tab
• Step 4. Click the Import mail and contacts link.
• Step 5. A small window appears at the top left side of your screen. Expand it and complete the on-screen instructions.

Once you do that, you will soon see that all the emails start arriving from the TalkTalk email to your Gmail account. 

Both these methods work fine; however, you have to repeat them every time you want to move from one endpoint to another.

What to Do after You Transfer TalkTalk Emails to Gmail

One of the first things you do is send an update email to all of your contacts. Here is a sample template you can use and alter to fit your needs. 

Subject: Update to My Email Address – [Your Name]

Body:

Hello everyone,

I’m writing to let you know that I have a new primary email address. I’ve recently switched from my old TalkTalk account to Gmail.

My new email address is:
[[email protected]]

Please take a moment to update your contact information for me. This new Gmail address is the best way to reach me from now on.

Thanks for updating your records!

Best regards,

[Your Name]

Send this message with your existing TalkTalk email account, not the new Gmail account. As it is possible that, on encountering an unknown sender, your recipient’s email filter blocks your “contact updation mail” from entering their mailbox.

Also, it is important that you yourself whitelist all your contacts in Gmail. You dont want the advanced Gmail filters to block your existing contacts from messaging you. 

You may think that sending an email to these recipients is in of itself a signal to Google that tells it that these contacts are legitimate contacts. To answer that, yes, sending an email is an implicit action. 

However, if you want to explicitly and permanently tell Gmail that an address is safe, the best way to do it is by adding the email address to your Google Contacts or, even better, whitelist.

Gmail does not have an actual whitelist; what you can do instead is apply a setting “Never send it to Spam.”

• Open Gmail > Click on the small cog at top right, then select “See all settings”
• Hop over to the “Filters and Blocked Addresses” tab, tap on “Create a new filter.”
• In the “From” field, enter the email address > Click “Create filter”. 
• Then, check the box next to “Never send it to Spam.”
• Press “Create filter” one last time to save your settings.

New email accounts, including those on Gmail, often have spam filters that are initially more cautious or “sensitive.” That’s why you need to adjust them so your real conversations move around freely and the real invalid messages stay put.

Conclusion 

Now our readers know what to do when they are in a situation where they have to transfer TalkTalk emails to Gmail. 

Although you have a manual method, I would advise against it as it is quite complex to set up, tends to break, and you won’t know if any emails are missing without checking each email manually. Go for the automated solution explained here; it is the best alternative and can do a simultaneous transfer of all 5 of your TalkTalk mail accounts at once.

Not only that, we also explained the post-transfer behavior and the steps to take in regards to establishing a true transfer and complete independence from a service provider email.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q. Do I Still Get a TalkTalk Email ID when I Purchase a Service?
  I see why you may be asking this question. It is a new industry trend where many similar internet providers that used to give a free-of-cost email address have stopped doing so. Here, TalkTalk stands out. Even today, in 2025, those who choose TalkTalk as their service provider get a set of 5 email mailboxes.
• Q. How Many Emails Can I have in my TalkTalk account before it becomes full?
  Every account has its own separate 10 GB total capacity, which translates to round about 700000 (Seven hundred thousand) emails. These may seem like a lot, but Gmail’s free tier gives 15 GB, i.e., 50% more storage. Moreover, you can subscribe and increase this limit to a few TBs; no such facility is available to TalkTalk mail users.
