Setting up your Roadrunner email on the Motorola XYBOARD 10.1 can be a straightforward process if you follow the correct steps. The XYBOARD 10.1, an Android tablet by Motorola, supports various email clients, allowing you to manage your Roadrunner emails seamlessly. This guide will take you through the necessary steps to configure your Roadrunner email account on your Motorola XYBOARD 10.1.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following details:

• Roadrunner Email Address: Your complete Roadrunner email address (e.g., [email protected]).


• Password: The password associated with your Roadrunner email account.


• Incoming and Outgoing Server Details: Typically, these are provided by your email service provider.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Roadrunner Email

1. Access the Email Application
   
   
   
   • Open the "Email" app on your Motorola XYBOARD 10.1. If you haven't set up any email accounts yet, the app will prompt you to add a new account. Otherwise, tap the menu button and select "Add Account."
   
   
   
   


2. Enter Your Email Address and Password
   
   
   
   • In the "Email" and "Password" fields, input your full Roadrunner email address and your password. After entering your credentials, tap on "Manual Setup" to proceed with the configuration.
   
   
   
   


3. Choose Your Account Type
   
   
   
   • You'll be prompted to select the type of account you want to set up. Roadrunner typically uses either IMAP or POP3. Choose the account type based on your preference:
     
     
     
     • IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) allows you to access your email from multiple devices, with changes synchronized across all devices.
     
     
     • POP3 (Post Office Protocol) downloads the emails to your device and removes them from the server, which can save space on the server.
     
     
     
     
   
   
   
   


4. Configure Incoming Server Settings
   
   
   
   • Depending on the type of account you selected, enter the following details:
     
     For IMAP:
     
     
     
     • IMAP Server: mail.twc.com
     
     
     • Port: 993
     
     
     • Security Type: SSL/TLS
     
     
     
     For POP3:
     
     
     
     • POP3 Server: mail.twc.com
     
     
     • Port: 995
     
     
     • Security Type: SSL/TLS
     
     
     
     
   
   
   • In the "Username" field, input your full Roadrunner email address.
   
   
   • Enter your password in the "Password" field.
   
   
   
   


5. Configure Outgoing Server Settings
   
   
   
   • Enter the following details for the outgoing server:
     
     
     
     • SMTP Server: mail.twc.com
     
     
     • Port: 587
     
     
     • Security Type: STARTTLS
     
     
     • Require Sign-In: Make sure this option is checked.
     
     
     • Enter your full Roadrunner email address and password again in the "Username" and "Password" fields.
     
     
     
     
   
   
   
   


6. Complete the Setup
   
   
   
   • After entering the server details, tap "Next." Your device will attempt to verify the settings. If the details are correct, you'll be prompted to configure additional settings like synchronization frequency and notifications.
   
   
   • Choose your preferred options and tap "Next."
   
   
   
   


7. Name Your Account
   
   
   
   • You can now give your account a name to easily identify it, and also set the display name that will appear on outgoing messages. Enter these details and tap "Done" to finish the setup process.
