So here I am, with an email account that I've had for probably 2 decades, and can't send any emails! I have so much invested in this email address (printed materials, business contacts) it would be a pain to change, but I will if I have to.
I've spent hours and hours on this. I deleted my account and then I couldn't even recreate it in outlook because it couldn't verify the SMTP settings. Finally got past that and it still didn't work. Tried it on another computer - same issue. Tried it off of my home network - same result. Tried just about every possible setting for outbound and no luck.
If anyone has a solution they'd like to share, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! A little late...luckily TWC ./ Charter / Spectrum / RR have not changed. I had this problem starting in June of 2020, still not fixed.
Like you, I have had my austin.rr.com addresses I think since 96 or 97; I was a beta tester in Austin. Now over the past 20 plus years, this problem has occurred before. Some new mail admin makes a server change, just a guess, and turn off rr.com or yourcity.rr.com for 25 million people who knows. There is not one employee, in the company that knows or understand any of the aforementioned-so every few years, I have had to go any route but through the front door to find somebody to fix me. And that has worked until June 2020. TWC, et all has always stated that rr.com / twc.com / spectrum.net / charter.net email accounts term when the Internet service account is closed. The problem is that for 20 plus years, this has NEVER been true. This is their answer to accommodate for idiots who in 2020, still can't spell email, intellect, or moron; yet are somehow senior tech support folks.
For whatever reason, this time, I can't get the issue fixed. I even overnighted a letter and a 25-dollar GC to Itunes addressed to the austin.rr.com webmaster. NO call, no email, and not even an insult. Up to that point, the email addresses 3, still worked; but I could not access them and as usual, like the last 20 years, the email accounts in question are not tied to the active internet spectrum paid broadband account.
There were many times over the years, where I left TWC, et all for other technology providers. Even with no active paying account with TWC, Spectrum, etc... the email addresses worked. Despite all of this, rr.com was long considered the best email setup and performance for any consumer and most pros who avoided exchange.
Sometime in April / May 2021, two of the Austin.rr.com email addresses starting kicking mail back “bounce back.” However, as stated, one sub account works, but I can’t access the parent account. And let’s face it, you could have just created a new spectrum email account and 10 min later, good luck, resetting the password.

What is strange, is if you recall, rr.com accounts had a master account and sub accounts for RR.com Email. I have one sub account under the rr.com address above that can still send and receive mail.
I read recently, that Spectrum is now turning off RR.com email addresses after 6 months of no use, who knows...but the accounts are not deleted. and nobody can setup an email that is the same as the text before your @austin.rr.com --
yourname@austin.rr.com may not work, but no user can setup
yourname@spectrum.net the internet interface won't allow it.
___________
IN closing, thanks for listening. Charter can do what they want, but it should be consistent. And they should have told us what was going to happen. I still don’t think anybody who works there could articulate this issue on any level. Their comments end at “this email address is not tied to your spectrum account.”
1. There are users of rr.com email addresses that still work and can still be managed from rr.com self-service. And, a % of these users don't have any business personal or commercial business with spectrum / charter, who have working email rr.com email accounts.
2. I know and have seen before over the years where a rr.com subaccount email address will work, but the parent account will not or is not accessible. This is almost conclusive to me that, there is no rhyme or reason why this occurs. In fact, I don't believe more than 1 person in the entire company understands what causes this and why this time it seems more permanent this time.
3. The company rhetoric, which is designed to create consistent policies, actually does exact opposite, by stating these accounts all terminate when they don't.
4. If you have had any interaction on the spectrum.net "manage your account," you know what a joke this interface is. Clearly, charter wants out of the email business. They don't want to really provide email accounts anymore. Just go try and set up 4 or 5 on spectrum.net....It is almost impossible. Not only that, the password on spectrum.net is not always the same as the imap password. I have several situations, where I login to spectrum.net with the email address and password and the same for imap account, the password doesn't work.
So why not just use runbox for everything. Runbox is getting expensive in their glory and I have hundreds of accounts that I know and hundreds of accounts I don't that use my austin.rr.com email address.
If anyone has a solution that has worked, please let me know.
