7. Make sure that the 'Use same settings as my incoming mail server' checkbox is selected.

8. Click 'More Settings' to configure additional settings.

9. In the 'Advanced' tab, ensure that the 'Incoming mail (IMAP)' and 'Outgoing mail (SMTP)' ports are set to 993 and 587 respectively.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you're unable to receive emails using your TWC account in Outlook, there may be an issue with your POP3 and SMTP server settings. To resolve this, follow these steps:

1. Check if you've entered the correct POP3 and SMTP server information. If not, refer to your TWC email account settings.

2. Ensure that the 'POP3' and 'SMTP' ports are set correctly in your Outlook settings.
