What Is TWC Email? Time Warner Cable Mail Explained
TWC email is the email service that came bundled with Time Warner Cable internet. If you had TWC at home, you got an address ending in twc.com, and that address is what people mean by TWC email.
The quick version: TWC email is Time Warner Cable’s old email service. Addresses end in twc.com and related domains like rr.com. Time Warner Cable became Spectrum, so these mailboxes now run on Spectrum and sign in at webmail.spectrum.net.
Charter bought Time Warner Cable, rebranded the whole operation as Spectrum, and the mailboxes moved across with it. TWC, Roadrunner and Spectrum are really one family at this point, because underneath they’re running on the same infrastructure.
Addresses that belong to this family
- twc.com, the main Time Warner Cable domain.
- rr.com and roadrunner.com, the Roadrunner brand TWC used for years.
- Regional rr.com variants that operated under Time Warner Cable.
They all sign in through the same page now and use the same mail servers, which makes life simpler if you’re setting one up on a phone.

Is TWC email the same as Spectrum email?
Close enough. TWC mailboxes run on Spectrum’s systems. New accounts use spectrum.net, but an old twc.com address keeps working.
Is TWC email the same thing as Roadrunner?
Same family. Roadrunner was Time Warner Cable’s email brand, so rr.com and twc.com addresses share settings and a sign-in page.

Yes. Add it as an IMAP account using mail.twc.com on ports 993 and 587 with SSL switched on. It works on any current device.
