How do I Change the POP Server With Time Warner Cable?

Time Warner Cable's Internet service is called Road Runner.

A POP server tells your e-mail program where it should look to fetch new incoming messages. You need to input your POP server on each e-mail service or device, such as an iPhone or Blackberry, through which you want to receive e-mail. For Time Warner Cable customers, the POP server for your Time Warner Cable e-mail account differs depending on your geographic area. If you are not using Time Warner Cable's e-mail service, your POP server will not change if you switch to Time Warner from another cable provider.

Instructions

Find Your POP Server

1. Visit the Road Runner Help & Member Services website. (See Resources)

2. Select "Time Warner Cable" from the provider drop-down. Choose your state and city from the corresponding drop-down menus.

3. Navigate to the "E-Mail" section of your area's help website. Look for the POP server address in any account setup articles there. The POP server address will remain the same no matter what e-mail application or hand-held device you are setting up. For example, the POP server address for South Carolina Road Runner customers is "pop-server.sc.rr.com."
