Setting up Spectrum hawaii.rr.com email accounts in Thunderbird
IMAP & SMTP server: mail.twc.com (not mobile.charter.net, smtp-server.hawaii.rr.com, etc.)
The Spectrum Email Server Settings and Spectrum Email Troubleshooting pages specify using SSL, but Thunderbird will fail to send messages unless SSL is switched to STARTTLS in SMTP settings.
To reset email account password, skip the "Forgot Email Password?" link found on the Spectrum webmail login page, as it currently times out; head to https://id.spectrum.net/recover instead (also accessible via https://www.spectrum.net → "Sign In" → "Forgot Username or Password?").
