Common Reasons Behind Missing Roadrunner Emails
Missing emails can happen due to:

- Expired login sessions
- Misconfigured filters or folders
- Security restrictions blocking emails
Understanding the cause is the first step to fixing the issue. For assistance, call 1-888-400-6145 or 1-888-369-2408 (Toll Free).
How IMAP and POP Settings Affect Sync
Roadrunner supports both IMAP and POP, but IMAP is recommended:
IMAP: Syncs emails across all devices in real time
POP: Downloads emails to one device only
If your emails are missing on certain devices, switching to IMAP can solve the issue.
Correct Roadrunner Server Settings
Make sure your settings are exactly as follows:
- IMAP (Incoming): imap.mail.spectrum.net | Port 993 | SSL
- POP3 (Incoming): pop.mail.spectrum.net | Port 995 | SSL
- SMTP (Outgoing): smtp.mail.spectrum.net | Port 465 or 587 | SSL/TLS
Incorrect settings can stop emails from syncing properly. For help configuring settings, call 1-888-400-6145 (Toll Free).
