Road Runner Email & Android Phone? Whew! Here's the Fix for Connection Problems

Because of my tech radio show, I test just about every opeating system there is. When it comes to smartphones, there seems to be a recussing issue with connecting Road Runner email to recieve (and sending is even more problematic). Keep in mind that Road

Runner is a POP server, and not IMAP, your deletions on the phone will not carry over to the server.

I just set up the new Verizon LG Revolution and came up with settings that actually work! Here's the procedure:
To send email:

1. Under Emails, Select Add Account, In the General Settings window fill in:
   (phones will vary so fill in what is required for your phone)
2. Email Address: yourusername@yourcity.rr.com (In Southern Californis it is socal.rr.com)
3. Your Password
4. Select POP or POP3
5. Incoming Mail Server Host: pop-server.yourcity.rr.com
6. Enter port 110
7. Set Secure Server to off

Outgoing email:

1. Outgoing Server Host: mobile-smtp.roadrunner.com (no need for your city code)
2. Set Port 25
3. Click Secure Server to off

This should be all you need!

Windows 7: Interview with a Real Expert

How lucky am I to be able to interview Stephen Rose, Sr Community Manager Microsoft (Windows OS) on my radio show last week? Tres lucky.

If you have any questions about the new Windows 7 operating system and how it will change (improve) the way you do things, click the link on Stephen's blog to hear the interview.

He's not a typical, stupifying techie - he's funny, smart and well informed. He explains the tuff stuff so that even simple-geeks like me can get it. You'll love hearing what he's got to say!
