If you're using Spectrum (formerly Roadrunner) email, knowing the correct server settings is key to making sure your email runs smoothly. Whether you're setting it up on your phone, tablet, or computer, the right settings help you send and receive messages without issues.
Even though Roadrunner was originally part of Time Warner Cable, and is now managed by Spectrum, you can still use your existing email if you're a current Spectrum customer. Here's a simple guide to help you get started.
Set Up Your Spectrum (Roadrunner) Email Account
Follow these quick steps to configure your email properly:
Open your email app or settings.
Go to the app where you manage email (like Mail, Outlook, etc.), and look for the section called “Accounts” or “Add Account.”
Tap “Add Account.”
Choose “Email” from the account types.
You might see other options like Google or Exchange – skip those and go with basic Email.
Enter your full Roadrunner email address.
It should look like: [email protected] (for example: [email protected]). Make sure it’s in lowercase.
Type in your password.
This is the same password you use to log in to your Roadrunner/Spectrum webmail.
Turn off automatic setup if available.
You'll want to enter server settings manually for better accuracy.
Tap “Next” and enter the following server settings:
