How To Get RoadRunner SMTP For Email Working
If you are having problem getting the smtp-server.xx.rr.com to work with your RoadRunner email, it is due to the authentication system at TimeWarner.
Here is what worked on my iPhone 3GS (replace "xx" with your RR location)
go to > Settings > Mail...
go to > Add Account...
Create your account using only the first part of your email for POP (if it's "name@xx.rr.com" just use "name")
Enter your password for POP
Hit "Save"
You will get an error that says something like "smtp-server.xx.rr.com does not allow authentication - change your settings". Hit "ok"
Go down and delete your username (your rr.com email address) and then delete the password. Hit "save"
You will get an error that says something like "smtp-server.xx.rr.com does not work with SSL would you like to try and set it up without using it?" Hit "Ok"
It should work.
