Probably not short term, everything will continue to work just as before. Inevitably though, BT will want to consolidate provision, reduce duplicates, and that maybe, maybe, will cause disruption. But that is for ‘future BT’ to deal with, not right now.

Longer term, I expect the ‘talktalk’ brand to vanish, and existing customers are moved to a BT platform. What that means for their email provision, who can tell. In theory nothing at all, as BT now presumably owns the various talktalk domain names and can maintain them albeit maybe move the physical email servers to ones they own.

However, no business purchases another business just to ‘keep things exactly as they are’. If TT was not profitable, but BT decided to purchase it, they must, absolutely must, have plans.
