IPHONE 3G and Road Runner accounts
Hello all,
Finally got my IPHONE 3G and everything is wonderful except for the Roadrunner email setup..
Like the last IPHONE I followed all of the instructions but still no happy. Noticed that in the basic setup it adds the CWMX.COM to the outgoing SMTP configuration but that’s not the real issue at this point. The problem is that IPHONE acts like its pulling or fetching the mail but nothing shows up. I have tried several combinations but I do not take an error it just does not get the mail.
Any ideas would be great.. Thanks

I spent a lot of time trying different combinations of settings, and finally found something that works. Try this:
1. Create new outgoing mail server for the rr email account: smtp-server.hawaii.rr.com (substute your location for hawaii)
2. Within the settings for smtp-server.hawaii.rr.com:
a. turn off the SSL
b. username needs to have the @hawaii.rr.com (the outgoing smtp it needs to have the "@hawaii.rr.com", but not on the incoming POP area. I don't know why, but I tried it and it works!)
c. enter password
Please let me know if this worked for you. Good luck!
My experience has been that you can only send via smtp-server.blah.rr.com if you are connected into the RoadRunner network (e.g., at home connected via your own wi-fi). Sending on EDGE or 3G is not likely to work unless you use CWMX.com or AuthSTMP, some smtp which is not part of the RoadRunner network.
Not unique with the iPhone. True for laptops when traveling, too.

Mail and road runner account: Help!
I hate to write this, since I have been through all the threads and nothing has worked. My G4 is in the shop and I am trying to configure mail to work on my G5. I have all the settings correct, but I cant send mail. I have tried changing the port numbers and adding the user name on the back of the SMPT protocol. A lot of the threads talk about att and Iphone, but I don't have an i phone.
TWC doesn't have a clue and I spent a 1/2 hour with an apple specialist online and they couldn't help, but apple hooked it up fine on my G4 two years ago. I tried to copy everything over verbatim,when creating a pop account on my G5 Imail, but it didn't work
Anyway, here are on protocols.
POP incoming
mail-server.carolina.rr.com
username
password
outgoing
smtp-server.carolina.rr.com
username
password
Do I have to adjust a port number or add a port number on the end of the smtp. I can't get anything to work or get any help. Again sorry to ask a redundant question, but all the threads involve Iphone.
Thanks,TWC has that issue per your last line. One thing I did was copy everything from my G4 in case apple lost my data. I have everything from my mail folder. Can I do an import like bookmarks? I will try your recipe and see what happens.
This has been so long, but apple had to put a : colon on the end of smtp-server.carolina.rr.com and I want to say it was my username, but other threads have said to put a server port 587 on the back of the outgoing. It is really confusing that apple didn't know how to do this when I called support yesterday.
Now I am hooked up to the airport express via a apple wireless card, but that shouldn't make a difference -
Has anyone had any luck placing road runner (time warner email) on their iphone. Both Apple and Road Runner tried but to no avail. Weird thing, I have had 3 previous iphones and have had rr on there every time.
I have three roadrunner mailboxes. One has transferred ok from my iphone 3G through iTunes. The other two reject their passwords. I do not understand what's going on. I have tried deleting the other two from iPhone and adding them directly on iPhone 4 but they still reject their passwords. Any help would be very appreciated.

My LG G3 has stopped receiving email from my pop3 road runner account. It just has an "updating" message. It worked fine for the first two weeks and nothing now. Any advice?
This started about 3 days ago. I could manually push email through in the last few days but can no longer. I have deleted the account and re-entered the settings but I get a message that I cannot connect to the server.

Why can't I create Road Runner account?
Set up the trial .mac mail account okay.
Have a hawaii.rr email on old PC and trying to set up on laptop.
Sometimes the pop-server creates but the smtp-server doesn't and sometimes neither one creates.
Called RR twice...they keep saying it's a Apple problem.http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1315184&tstart=75
My Road Runner account ran into the same problem until my friend cloeb fixed it for me. The two techs I had talked to previously at RR told me to contact Apple, as it was their issue.
Maybe something in the above-mentioned thread will work for you.
Good luck! -
I recently purchased the iPhone 5 and my itunes account on my iMac 7,1 will not recognize it as a device. My imac has stopped downloading new updates, it says it is up to date with iTunes 9.2.1. My imac will not run the newest 10.7 itunes either. All I want to do is put my music from itunes on my computer to my new phone. HELP please!!
i called apple and they are sending me snow leopard so i should, *fingers crossed, be able to run the newer version of itunes. we'll find out for sure in a few days when it arrives

Lost all my phone numbers in my iphone 4 and my iclod account was without any numbers. how can i get my contacts back?
If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup. This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Just uploaded latest ios to my ipad2 and iphone 4s and my hotmail account keeps asking for my password. When i input it, it tells me its wrong. Hotmail was working fine till ios upgrade. Any ideas? I have deleted account username and password and reinput but no difference
Try deleting the yahoo email account, and then recreate the account so you are sure all the information is now correct. I have had email information get corrupted for unknown reasons and found just removing and recreating the account to resolve the issues most of the time.
Check the ports, incoming and outgoing, on your iDevices to be sure the same are used on the iMac. -
I just upgraded to Lion today and realized I'm not receiving any mail. I can send out but not receive. I am using a POP server Road Runner acct. Any help would be appreciated.
Try Mail->Window->Connection Doctor. If there is a problem reported, try:
Open Mail->Preferences and check your settings.
If you still have a problem, Copy your settings (screen capture ⇧⌘4), delete account, and re-setup account -
Thunderbird no longer recognizes my Road runner Account
I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Now Thunderbird no longer connects with my Bright House road runner email account. I removed the account from Thunderbird and tried to re-add it, but I get a message that my username and/or password is incorrect. I can get my email (with the very same username and password) using windows Mail, and also Road runner Webmail, so I know that the user info is correct. Thunderbird still recognizes my other email accounts (gmail and hotmail). The configuration problem only applies to Road Runner email.

Confirmed workarounds:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s). -
IPhone4 - Outgoing Mail - Road Runner Account
Outgoing Road Runner mail on my iPhone 4 is unbelievably slow (2-3 minutes or more to send an outgoing message, even when I'm on wifi with a full signal). I have changed the outgoing server settings from the Road Runner server to the AT&T servers (first choice is cwmx.com and also have ATT&T STMP server on - all others are off). Anyone have any idea why this is happening and any suggestions on how to fix it ?

New iPhone 5 and existing iCloud account
I recently got my wife an iPhone 5 for the holidays. We are a multiple Apple family with 2 iPads, iPods, etc... Problem is, I set up her new iPhone on my existing iCloud account with out realizing it would send all my messages and contacts to her phone. Easy solution seems to be having her set up her own iCloud, but with that, I don't think I can use Find My iPhone (with 2 separate iCloud accounts). Is this correct? I can't be the first person struggling with this. Please help! Thank you!
Use separate Apple ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. Use a common one for iTunes & App Stores.
You can use Find my iPhone by sign in with her Apple ID in www.icloud.com or in Find my iPhone app in another iDevice. -

I, too use roadrunner and found this answer when I Googled for it yesterday. I have had limited success, but plan on contacting AT&T as they helped me configure my Cingular 8525 when the "typical" settings were of no use. Link:
http://freeiphoner.com/how-to-setup-nycrrcom-email-in-iphone/
"How to setup my email in iphone? I'm using [email protected]
Incoming server
Pop-server.NYC.RR.com
Outgoing server
Cwmx.com
No username
No password
Unfortunately tWC is quite adimant about not allowing outgoing mail from off the Roadrunner network. So you cannot use the same settings as you would at home…
(for those following, that would be SMTP.NYC.RR.com)
Also unfortunately, ATT will not allow anyone to use the CWMX.com server off the EDGE network.
What does this mean? You should use the cwmx.com server as much as possible, but it means that if you are off the edge network (on wifi) at that exact moment, your mail will not go out. Once you get off wifi (manually, or leave the range of the hotspot) your mail will send out.
Another way to do this would be to forward your email to Google.com. Google’s interface is free, connects just fine, and will hold EVERY email there until you delete it. So you could forward your email to the gmail server, checking the setting to leave copy of mail in your roadrunner account. This will send a copy of the mail to Google while leaving a copy at home.
Set up your iphone to it the gmail server (it has preset settings in the mail setup)." -
IPhone Reservation and New ATT Account
I was waiting to see reception of iPhone 4 before picking mine up later today. I am willing to take a chance and pick it up. However, I had an iPhone 3GS which I sold but had reserved the new phone with my original account. In the meantime I had ported my ATT number to Verizon. Will I have trouble purchasing the new phone with a new ATT account?
You can get more Exchange server setup options with the iPhone Configuration Utility.
