Issues in sending and receiving emails
If your Roadrunner is seeking issues while sending and receiving emails then check the internet connection. If the internet connection is weak then you have to wait until the connection gets stable. Now again try to send email from your Roadrunner. If you are using a wireless device then place the device near to the internet source (router). You can also get the email sending and receiving error due to wrong ports. Check the POP and SMTP ports on your Roadrunner. Check your firewall because sometimes firewalls block the network and people can’t access the email or attachments. Disable your firewall and then try to send an email or attachment. In case you are unable to fix the error then enable the firewall immediately. If you are still facing issues with the Webmail Roadrunner then ask the Roadrunner technical team for help.
