IMAP is not working now that Spectrum.net has eliminated the webmail access. They say it is a Microsoft problem.

IMAP is not allowing the email to flow from Spectrum.net to Outlook on my iphone since Spectrum eliminated the webmail portal this past week.

    My issue was, i can receive emails, but not send any.

    BTW, it is partly microsoft because they have added more security. Spectrum does not wish to comply and they no longer support 3rd party email clients at all. so it is mostly Spectrum issue.

    i just setup everything in 1st post this morning and it is woirking great. BTW use the outlook classic. the outlook new is not very good in my opinion.

    i forgot something. if using PC, find your spectrum email folder (usually placed in your "My Documents:" folder, move the email file and rename it. then setup gmail in outlook. once that is completed and you forward all your spectrum emails to gmail in webmail for spectrum, you can go open outlook, go to file>account settings>account settings>Data files tab>add your old spectrum outlook file where you moved it and you will have all your old spectrum emails too!!

    here is a workaround. do you have a gmail account? use outlook to use gmail account. once setup, go to webmail for spectrum and open it. go to settings and find the button to turn on forward email. then select your gmail addrrss for forwarding. you will get all gmail and spectrum emails in outlook.

    I have Edge & there is a mail link top left which takes me to Spectrum to get my mail. There is another mail link top left that goes to outlook Hopes this helps.

    I got POP working for a couple of weeks. Now nothing. Same BS from Spectrum. Not allowing any 3rd party mail apps. Not giving anyone a spectrum email address anymore. Maintaining old spectrum addresses on their spectrum.net site only. SUPER PISSED OFF AT SPECTRUM. 20 years with same email address now I need a new one.

    Neither IMAP or POP work for me. POP worked for an hour after IMAP stopped working after years
