Email setup--Road Runner (Time Warner)?

[eye-Fone]

Has anyone successfully set up a Time Warner Road Runner email account on their iPhone?

Whenever I try to, the phone attempts to verify the info, and it says it can't, but would I like to try a non-SSL connection. Since RR is not SSL, I answered "OK", but it still fails to verify the mail account.

I'm on my home's WiFi network, so it is going through the RR network. I'm using the same settings (server name's, etc.) as Outlook, where it works fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I figured it out. I shouldn't have been putting a username and password on the SMTP server. It works when I leave it at "optional"--it uses the credentials that I entered for my POP server.

As you were...all is working fine now.

just note that your Road Runner SMTP server will NOT work when you are not connected via Road Runner network (like when using 3G).
You will need to use another SMTP server. I think AT&T uses one at cwmx.com (no username/password necessary if connected via AT&T).

I use gmail's SMTP server (and you can set up your gmail account to make it look like it is coming from your Road Runner email).

This is true. If I use that SMTP server, will the email still appear as being from my RR account?

I do that all the time, but only when using gmail's web site. How do I do this from the email client of the iPhone?
