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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    I have 2 spectrum email accounts, i..e. ending in @charter.net. Until February 24, 2025, I was able to send and receive my charter.net emails on my HP computer using the Outlook software, but on that date the sending and receiving of emails in Outlook stopped. I am able to send and receive all emails on my iphone using the apple email software AND through the Spectrum.net site. After speaking with Spectrum tech, I was left with the message that "Outlook did an update that created connection problems for charter.net emails and that I would have to wait until Spectrum and Outlook worked things out. I could continue using the Spectrum.net site or get another email service to load on my computer." I don't know who is at fault or what is the cause, but I would like to have either or both companies, both of which I am paying, to inform me of what the problems are and whether they will fix it. For tech genuises, they are communication dunces.

    I agree, but don't hold out hope that either will own up to the issue.
