Most of the ISP(Internet Service Providers) offers a lot of add-ons with our service package. It Includes Free Streaming Services and Email Accounts also. Based on our plans, we will get the number of accounts free. Even if there are Large Email providers like Gmail and Outlook available in the market, to get the exclusive username without the numbers, We prefer other email providers. We also utilize Free ISP Email IDs. Charter Communications now acquire RoadRunner/TWC Internet service. They rebranded RoadRunner/TWC Email into Spectrum Mail. Due to the large volume of users, they completed the migration and kept Old service pages as active to redirect. Don’t worry; your email won’t go anywhere. We have to set up some settings to get your Email in your Android Mobile and iPhone.
What does will happen to my Old RoadRunner/TWC/RR Email?
Don’t worry. Your Email ID won’t go anywhere. Instead of the Old login page, They moved to Spectrum.net.

But, If you face any issues, you can either contact the Spectrum Support or try to change the details in settings as per the following Instructions.
You can use the new Spectrum.net WebMail page to login to your account using your Username and Password. You can quickly login when you use the Web Browser. But, If you prefer your Phone app and Want to sync like the Gmail app, you can use the following method.
