The best part of being a Roadrunner email account user is you can set it up on Microsoft Outlook and check all the emails in one place. Once you set up your account on Outlook, you will not be required to login to the Roadrunner email to access your emails as you can do this using Outlook. Also, if you have more than one Roadrunner account, you can add them all to Outlook making it convenient to use.
Also, Outlook is available in different versions such as 2013, 2016, 2019, and so on, making the process a bit complex. But no need to worry as here you will get a step-by-step guide to help you out with setting up a Roadrunner email account on Outlook both automatically as well as manually.
Before you begin, Roadrunner, once offered by Time Warner Cable (TWC) is now managed by Spectrum webmail. So the entire setup will take place through Spectrum. Now, let’s begin with setting up a Roadrunner email in Outlook.
