RoadRunner Email Account

Hi,

I just baught my Treo 650 and was wondering if it was possible to use my Road Runner email account in my treo.

Thanks.

I beleive RR is POP3 so the answer is yes. You can use any of the e-mail apps out there to receive your RR e-mail on the Treo (Snapper, Versa Mail, Chatter etc.)

I also beleive RR does not allow relaying so you will have to use a different outgoing mail server to send mail from that account.

How would I set that up?

Which e-mail app are you using?

I have yet to send email from my RR account (on my PC) when not connected to RR network. Customer support is useless. He suggested me to use RR Web mail. Here it the link to the web mail if you need it.

https://webmail.socal.rr.com/

I am in SoCal so replace that Socal with your region.

Following is another post on RR setting. You might have better luck than I do. I could not get it working with my PC. I did not even attempt this on my Treo.

On your Treo mail client,
put in protocal: pop; user name; pass; incoming server: pop-server.??.rr.com the ?? being your region, out going mail server is your cell phone server. For example for T-mobile is myemail.t-mobile.com.

Great! Finally someone who knows! May I ask, what are the mail server settings for AT&T wireless (Cingular Blue) and Verizon DSL for use on PC.

Don't know AT&T but Verizon DSL is:

incoming.verizon.net
outgoing.verizon.net (you must use user name and pw for outgoing as well.)

Thanks Greenie! I know that settings for Verizon DSL. I need to know the setting to sent RR mail via Verizon DSL. If I use Verizon, I am using my Verizon ID. I want to use my RR mail ID to send mail. As right now, I can only get mail but not send mail with my RR account when I am not on RR network.

I'm still not sure I understand but are you saying you need to send mail via Road Runner? Since they don't support relaying you can use the Verizon outgoing mail server to do it (providing you also have Verizon DSL, and I think you're saying you do.)

So you'd set up as follows:

Incoming mail server: Use RR account settings and mail server.

Outgoing mail server: Use Verizon DSL account settings and mail server.

Just make sure you check the box for outgoing mail authorization and you enter your Verizon account settings. For obvious reasons you can't use your RR account information to send mail via the Verizon outgoing mail server.

You can also specify your reply to address in the outgoing mail settings as the RR address. This way no one will even know you've sent mail using the Verizon account. It'll appear as if it came from RR.

THANKS Greenie! I got it. On my RR account I use my Verizon DSL setting for the outgoing mail server. Set my Reply Address using RR account. On Outgoing Server, Uncheck Using same setting as my incoming mail server. Enter my Verizon setting for User name and password. I test it on my PC and everything works.

I am going to try this with my Treo. I have this RR account and almost never use it as I never did figure how to send mail out while not on RR network.

What would be the settings for using your tmobile email for outgoing. You said myemail.t-mobile.com....do you put your cell number for the username and password that you log into mytmobile or what?? Any help would be great

Posted by: whatever7

If you want to use rr email, put in your rr user name and password.

Just a follow up on this RR issue. I set up the RR on Treo just like the PC using my verizon account and it worked. However, I cannot use the cxmx.com as outgoing server. It seems that some of the people here have success with using that.
Well, I am just glad that I can use that RR account for sending out mail now.

Hmmm! Now the question is what am I going to do with the 6 additional email addresses I can have with this account.

Just use outgoing.verizon.net with your username and password.

Thanks.
I got it working already with the set up you mentioned. Just not with the cwmx.com outgoing server.
