The best part of being a Roadrunner email account user is that you can set it up in Microsoft Outlook and check all your emails in one place. Once you set up your account in Outlook, you will not be required to sign in to Roadrunner email to access your emails, as you can do so using Outlook. Also, if you have more than one Roadrunner account, you can add them all to Outlook to make it more convenient to use.
Also, Outlook is available in different versions like 2013, 2016, 2019, etc., which makes the process a bit complex. But don’t worry, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set up a Roadrunner email account in Outlook, both automatically and manually.
Before we started, Roadrunner, once offered by Time Warner Cable (TWC), is now managed by Spectrum webmail. So all the configuration will be done through Spectrum. Now, let’s get started with setting up a Roadrunner email in Outlook.
