POP Email???

Is this phone capable of Pop email accounts through time warner cable? I ask because the Hero with sprint running android doesn't work....won't authenticate or connect with smtp server.

definitely drooling for this phone but this is a must have.

thanks for any insight

yes it should work fine. you just have to make sure time warner is ok with pop access (you manually have to turn this on)

it works fine on my storm but i heard that is because you are using their servers...if you switch to a phone that depends on twc server then they block it.

the funny thing is that pop email through TWC works on the samsung rogue.

You might have a port problem.

On my Dare, the default is to use the sPOP port, instead of the POP port. most providers today (I'd imagine TWC is in that boat) use sPOP instead of POP.

So you might just have to change the port, where the Rogue may default to the correct one.

No it's not.

This is not a phone issue its a Roadrunner issue. Blackberries work because they have their own smtp servers but in order to use the Roadrunner outgoing (smtp) server you have to be connected to Roadrunners internet service. In theory I suppose it would work if you have roadrunner at home and you connect your phone to your home network via wifi - but this is the only way.

Roadrunner does not allow access to its smtp server via any other network. Incoming (pop) is fine though...
