Chosen solution

Right click the account in the folde pane and select settings. Select outgoing server (SMTP) in the list. Select your outgoing Road runner account and click edit. Change the authentication from None to normal password.

If that does not work (TWC have made changes)

Update the outgoing server entry to the the settings given here https://www.timewarnercable.com/en/support/faqs/faqs-internet/e-mailacco/incoming-outgoing-server-addresses.html
