“The mail server denied access to your account because another mail client was using it.”
Note: Using both IMAP and POP simultaneously or POP across multiple devices can cause connection/mail synchronization error messages when trying to send, receive or access new email such as the following: Select POP or IMAP in the Account Type dropdown.Enter your Full Name, Email Address and Password.Click + at the bottom of the Accounts list to create a new account.In Preferences, click the Accounts icon.Select Preferences from the Mail dropdown.Here's the MacMail portion of one comprehensive "manual setup" page - like I said, it should "get" settings FROM the server when adding a new account (adding one BACK)
What I DO find is several links from Spectrum and TWC websites on "how to setup"
HOW TO SET UP IMAP EMAIL FOR ROADRUNNER. MAC OSX
I find nothing online regarding Spectrum "abandoning" Apple Mail or Mac OSX Mail If I were you, I would pick a service & delete it from your Mac Mail - then add it back utilizing the "automatic" get settings function - then see what happensĪutomatically manage connection settings in Mail on your Mac - Apple Support I have no problems - unless a service does something wonky without telling me about it (Yahoo has gone wacky several times & Gmail did it intentionally once = something about "untrusted" apps or something that required visiting webmail setting and flipping a switch) I now use Thunderbird email client on a PC.Īll of the accounts are set up "automatically" from within Thunderbird - TBird "gets" server settings from the email services when setting up IMAP If I recall correctly, all the email accounts I used - YahooMail, Gmail & Hotmail - required using the Roadrunner SMTP server to SEND mail from the accounts for POP3 When I used my OLD Mac Powerbook, I used MS Entourage email client. I have Spectrum - from TimeWarner (which is "roadrunner") = username state abbr.
