Today, you will find the exclusive steps to troubleshoot the email problem on your computer. Just pay close attention to each and every step discussed here as under.  You will be able to get back to the RCN com login experience.

First of all, check the port number and account type for your RCN account. If you are unsure about this, then go to RCN help page and find complete details about it. 


  1. Check the settings of relay SMTP server: You must ensure that relay SMTP settings must be configured properly on your email account. For any help and information related to this, you can go to Email help link.
  2. Check the mail server and its names: For this, you need to go to ‘Email center setup link’. Enter the login credentials in the field and click on ‘Submit’ to move further. After this, open ‘Tools’ from the email and go to ‘Email setup’ option and check mail server fields for incoming as well as outgoing servers.
  3. Inspect the port settings: For this, you must log in to the account. Check the ports carefully. If any port is blocked, then this may be due to the security issue and it gets blocked by internet service provider. The best way to fix the problem is; change the port number according to the type of security.
Without SSL: If you want to use the account without SSL security, then the port number for this is 143 and you need to use IMAP protocol for this. In case the account is the POP type, the port number will be 110 and same is the case for outgoing servers. Set it to 25, 80 and 3535. 

With SSL: If you want to enable the security, then the port number for IMAP protocol is 993 and for POP is 995. The outgoing port for such account is 465.
  1. An additional check for an account: If you are sending a message from your account, then check the word limit of your composed mail if it is exceeding the limit, then you won’t be able to send it. The daily mail limit must be checked prior to sending a mail. Login to RCN email login now.
Note: One relay is comprised of one email message which is being sent from the SMTP settings. If you are trying to send the same message to more than one person, then the same number of relays will be used. 

In this way, you can troubleshoot the RCN email account problem on the computer. If you are still having any doubt or problem, then feel free to contact us at our given RCN email support number.
