How to Forward Roadrunner Email to Gmail

ByAdmin

Tired of logging into two inboxes? Pull your Roadrunner mail into Gmail and read everything in one place. Here is the reliable way.

Quick answer: To forward Roadrunner email to Gmail, add your rr.com account inside Gmail under “Check mail from other accounts”, using pop.charter.net with SSL. Gmail then collects your Roadrunner mail for you.

Bring Roadrunner mail into Gmail

  1. In Gmail on the web, open Settings, then Accounts and Import.
  2. Under “Check mail from other accounts”, click Add a mail account and enter your rr.com address.
  3. Choose Import emails (POP3). Server pop.charter.net, port 995, SSL on, with your full address and password.
  4. Finish. Optionally set Gmail to send as your rr.com address using SMTP mobile.charter.net, port 587, SSL on.

I did this with my own secondary rr.com address and never looked back. One inbox, one search, everything together. The send-as step is the part people forget, and it is the one that lets you reply as your Roadrunner address instead of outing your Gmail.

There is a bonus here too. Pulling mail into Gmail quietly builds a backup of your Roadrunner messages, which is exactly what you want for a legacy account. Two birds, one setup.

Remember that Spectrum owns this service now, so the real controls live on their site. Start from the Spectrum sign-in or their mail setup page when you need official help.
