Check to see if you can actually connect to the port.

Run Telnet from the command line. - Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
telnet pop.gmail.com 995
And try 
telnet imap.gmail.com 993 
telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
If you can, then it is possibly your email software at fault.
If you can't then it may be TalkTalk blocking it, or it may be a (mis)configuration on the router.
