Unlock your Roadrunner email account
If your Roadrunner account is inactive for a long time then your account may get locked temporarily. The Roadrunner admin blocks the incoming and outgoing service. For unlocking your Roadrunner account, you need to contact the Roadrunner team. Your account can also get blocked when your email account inspects any suspicious activity. This mainly appears when someone login Roadrunner account from two different geographical locations. Sometimes your account can also show the login error when your device is connected to an unsecured or shared internet connection.
Reconfigure your email settings
Sometimes the user makes few changes in the settings which cause the login issues. If the login error is appearing after making any change then you should revert the changes. Go to the general settings tab and undo the changes.
Check the size of Attachments
If you are facing errors with Roadrunner then you should immediately check the attachments. Roadrunner email has a size limit for sending an attachment. Check the size limit and then check your attachment. If the attachment size is large then try to send the attachments in parts. You should also check the type of attachments. Roadrunner will show you errors if you are sending attachments with wrong extensions.
Mark Spam
Your Roadrunner can also show the error when your inbox is getting lots of unwanted emails. Most of these mails are spam. These spam emails not only flood your inbox but can also carry potential malware. If you are getting lots of spam messages then mark them as spam. Once you mark the email as spam then you won’t receive the email on your inbox from that email address.
Check for the recipient address
If you are unable to send email to a particular recipient then you should immediately check the address. People often mistype e/i, 1/l, r/s, m/n while typing the recipient’s address. Make sure you haven’t marked the recipient address as spam or blocked. Check the block and spam list. Now again try to send the email.
If you are unable to fix the Roadrunner related issues manually then you should ask the Roadrunner technical team for help.
