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.

    Just addressing several points from the last several messages...

    Even using IMAP, deleting a message in Outlook would not delete messages off the Spectrum server. I had to manually go onto the Spectrum email web page and perform a mass cleanup 100 emails at a time every week. Spectrum email is an utter joke in this day and age. I have contacted them many times over the years and they are absolutely clueless.

    New outlook does have a send/receive function now - it is under the view menu option and is called "sync."

    Deleting my email account and re-setting it back up in either new or classic Outlook using POP still does not work for me.

    I have uninstalled Outlook from my PC - good riddens I say. Also in the process of phasing out my roadrunner email account and transitioning over to Gmail.

    Thank you. That may be my result. I will try a few others per suggestions here and see what works or not.

    Thank you! It worked for me too! Had to use POP as IMAP stopped working like as others reported.

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

    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.
