Troubleshooting Connection Issues

  • Authentication Failed: Double-check your email address and password
  • Server Not Responding: Verify server names are spelled correctly
  • SSL Errors: Ensure correct SSL/TLS settings are selected
  • Port Blocked: Try alternative ports (993 for IMAP, 587 for SMTP)
  • Firewall Issues: Temporarily disable firewall to test connection

Important Notes:

  • IMAP is recommended as it syncs emails across all devices
  • Use your full email address as the username (including @roadrunner.com or @rr.com)
  • Enable "Use SSL" for secure connections
  • If settings don't work, try using "mail.twc.com" as the server
  • Spectrum migrated accounts may use "mobile.charter.net" as the server

Alternative Server Names

Depending on your region and when your account was created, you may need to use these alternative server names:

  • Original Roadrunner: pop-server.roadrunner.com / smtp-server.roadrunner.com
  • TWC (Time Warner Cable): mail.twc.com / smtp.twc.com
  • Spectrum (Current): mobile.charter.net
  • Brighthouse: mail.brighthouse.com
