How to Fix Roadrunner Email Not Working in Outlook
After identifying possible causes, try the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Verify Configuration Settings
    Open Outlook → File → Add Account → Manual Setup → POP or IMAP
    Enter the correct server settings:
    IMAP Settings:

Incoming Mail Server: imap.mail.spectrum.net

Port: 993

Encryption: SSL

POP Settings:

Incoming Mail Server: pop-server.spectrum.net

Port: 995

Encryption: SSL

SMTP Settings:

  1. Remove and Re-Add Your Account
    Go to:
    File → Account Settings → Manage Profiles → Show Profiles → Remove
    After removing the account, restart Outlook and add your Roadrunner email again using correct settings.

  2. Run Outlook in Safe Mode

    Steps:

Press Windows + R

Type Outlook /safe

Press Enter

Check if your email works properly.

  1. Check Antivirus & Firewall Settings
    Sometimes antivirus software blocks email ports. Temporarily disable it and test Outlook. If this fixes the issue, adjust firewall/email protection settings.

  2. Switch to Google DNS

Open Network & Sharing Center

Click Change Adapter Settings

Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

Choose “Use the following DNS server addresses”

Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8
