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 ?

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

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!

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.

I upgraded to lion today and just realized I am not receiving any mail. I can send out but not receive. i'm using a POP Road Runner account. Any help 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).

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 4.6 unable to send outgoing mail (second gmail account and hotmail account)

I am able to receive mails but I cannot send outgoing mails on my second gmail account and hotmail account. Both smtp shows that it is "offline."

Hi Slayzr
I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router.
I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
It worked for me. If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
Here's how you can fix it.
Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
- Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
- Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
And then click on "apply"
- restart your computer.
That should fix the issue.
Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

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,

I have tried it with Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, Using Norton Internet Security 2012, and MacAfee on different systems and still the same outcome. Anyone else have a fix/solution other then wait? Thank You

Road Runner e-mail. I cannot get my Time Warner e-mail setup on my iMac

I just got a new iMac and am trying to set up the "mail" feature with my Road Runner account. It won't recognize it for some reason. Anyone have instructions on how to do this?

Congratulations on the new iMac...when you say it won't recognize the TW mail account, how have you tried setting it up? Did you go into the Mail preferences and enter the account id, passwords for incoming and outgoing, set the incoming to POP or IMAP according the the service you receive?
If you would, tell us a little more about the details of what you have done, not ids or passwords, of course

Road Runner settings and iphone

Even since I upgraded my iphone to 2.0 I am not able to receive incoming mail on my road runner account. I am able to send mail. Does anyone have a suggestion about how I should set my incoming server?

You've been given a lot of bad/false information from a number of sources. You can't sync mail boxes YOU create on your computer to your phone...this is a limit of how mail works. The ONLY mail boxes you can sync to your phone or devices are mail boxes you create on the mail server. However, this requires an Exchange or IMAP account, as such is not possible with a POP account. Again, this is a limit of the way POP accounts work.

Trouble with sending emails with Road Runner

I have had little luck with sending email from my iPad with Wifi through my Road Runner Account (Central Florida). Apple Support got it to work with the AT&T 3G set as a secondary Outbound server, but I am still looking for a way to send emails with RR with WiFi. The problem may be that there is no way to turn off the authenication feature in the iPad mail setup, and RR here does not require or permit authentication for its outbound mail servers. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? Why is there not a selection available in the setup for "no authentication" since I can see that there are accounts which do not support it?

If you had the AT&T network set up and on, and the RR still did not work, there must be another problem with sending emails through RR than I have guessed. I have thought the problem was the incompatible Authentication setting, but if you had the AT&T on as an alternative, that should have resolved the Authentication issue. In any event, I have discussed with Bright House (RR), and they do not seem to acknowledge any compatibility issues with the iPad. Hopefully, it can be resolved.

Where's my outgoing mails are?

Since updated to 10.9.2 outgoing mail in imap account are just some, 26 in my case, where there are the other emails? Anyone have this problem?
Thanks in advance, Andrea

Hello Cybermaster
Have you tried rebuilding the outgoing mailbox within mail by going to the drop down Mailbox > Rebuild? It is helpful to do that when it is not syncing up folders properly and it will remove what is stored locally and then force a download again from the mail servers to get those messages. Also check for additional folders on the sidebar for that account.

No outgoing mail verizon yahoo

I am using a new Mac Pro laptop (snow leopard and all latest updates installed) and using Apple mail via Verizon Yahoo. I have an account and my wife has a sub account. They are both set up identically except for user ID and passwords. I was sending out mail on my account and then all of sudden I lost outgoing mail capability with my outgoing mail name showing it to be "offline". But both accounts were set to online. Able to receive mail okay and my wife's sub account receives and sends mail okay.
I had this same problem once before with my desktop G4 and Tiger. But corrected, but do not remember how I did it, but do not think I reinstalled mail. I tried deleting my account and creating a new account using same login and password without success. I went into yahoo and signed in (using the my same mail ID and password) and was able to send and receive mail on my account. Any ideas?

I sent out a mail message successfully today from wife's subaccount, but later on when I tried to send another my wife's outgoing mail name shows "offline" as mine does. So now neither accounts have outgoing mail capability.
I took a screenshot yesterday (when her subaccount was working okay) of my wife's outgoing preference panel that shows the outgoing ID and PW, now after not being able to send out mail, I took another screenshot and the password has disappeared. This is the same thing I observed when I lost outgoing mail on my account. Putting in the password again and saving the preferences did not regain outgoing mail capability.
