How to Set up Road Runner Email on an iPhone
Road Runner email is part of the Time Warner Cable home Internet service. Prior to 2011 there were reports of port setting and email server conflicts between Road Runner email and iPhone cell service, but with port modifications, the conflict is resolved. Any email account from a home cable or DSL account requires a few extra steps to work on an iPhone, but it can be done.
