Set up Spectrum (charter.net / rr.com)
in any email app.
The correct IMAP, POP3 and SMTP settings for Spectrum (charter.net / rr.com). Use these with BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird or any other mail client.
Instead of using Spectrum's webmail interface, you can use a mobile or desktop email app like BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird. Desktop email apps offer more features, faster access and offline reading. Your messages are right there even without a connection.
How to set up Spectrum in BlueMail
- Get BlueMail. Install BlueMail free on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows or Linux, or open web.bluemail.me in your browser.
- Add your account. Open BlueMail and tap Add Account, then choose Email.
- Sign in with your Spectrum address. Enter your full Spectrum email address and password.
- Let BlueMail find the settings. BlueMail detects the correct Spectrum servers automatically. If you're asked to enter them manually, use the settings below: incoming mobile.charter.net and outgoing mobile.charter.net exactly as listed.
- Done. Your Spectrum inbox appears and stays in sync on every device you sign in on.
One set of servers for every Spectrum-era address
Whether your address ends in @charter.net, @twc.com, @rr.com (any regional variant) or @roadrunner.com, the same servers below work — Spectrum consolidated all its legacy mail domains onto one platform. Sign in with your full email address and normal password; there's no app-password system. Spectrum stopped offering new mailboxes years ago, and community reports suggest mailboxes are removed a couple of months after cancelling Spectrum internet — so if you're leaving, move your mail first.
