wrote: My son has been having problems sending me email from his Yahoo account to my TWC accounts (2). Most of the time they go through but sometimes they are rejected, for hours or even days. There is no problem sending to him.
He replied to 1 of my emails today about 11 am EDT. Then he replied to 2 of them at about 1 PM EDT. Both were rejected and returned to him. Then i sent him a test email at about 1:30 and he was able to reply. This problem has been intermittent for the last year, sometimes disappearing for months, then returning.
I asked him to forward the messages to me, but they were also rejected. He had to send them to my Outlook email instead.

When I send from my Yahoo account to my TWC account it takes 5-8 minutes to arrive online at TWC/Spectrum. It takes even longer to be picked up by my Microsoft Outlook software using IMAP.
What's the problem between Yahoo and TWC/Spectrum?

Hello,
The problem is the age of the TWC/Roadrunner Email technology. Now over fifteen years old. Cable providers were never intended to be email providers, nor Dish, nor U-Verse for that matter.
Your son has a great convenience in using a Web Mail account. Yahoo Mail, Outlook.com, and Gmail are all examples of Web Mail accounts, Accessible from any computer or mobile device with a web browser and Internet connection, Web Mail goes with you and stays with you for the rest of your life. Think about this, If you were to drop your TWC/Spectrum Internet service tomorrow, you would lose ALL of your email on that ancient Road Runner account. There are no future plans to update RoadRunner. It's a grandfather claused feature left over from the TWC days. Because it's no longer supported, that is exactly why you are having the above problems.
Switch to Gmail, Outlook.com, or Yahoo Mail like your son has done. Put your Roadrunner contacts in there. Make sure to also get an adblocker to block out banner ads in web mail for each of your browsers. Only one blocker per browser if you don't already have one. I recommend Ad Block Plus.
