      • User Name: Enter the Full email address

      I can not believe Charter is telling me it is a Microsoft problem. Everything worked great until Charter ran a big update back in September. I have seen 3 different set ups for Charter settings using Outlook 2010.Based on this issue alone I would not recommend Charter to anyone. They wouldn’t provide basic set up information. Unbelievable!

      Hello – I am trying to get Outlook 2003 to accept Charter messages and have repeatedly checked my entries (per above) for establishing my Charter mail account and keep getting the following error – can’t connect to pop server.
      Can anyone help?

      me too – I am getting the SAME thing – but I am setting up an IMAP account – so it’s a little different – ACTUALLY got it to work finally 2 weeks about by changing ADVANCED SETTING 
      Outgoing service from NON to AUTO.
      But lo and behold 2 weeks later – now it is not working – Charter tells me to call Microsoft.  Microsoft tells me to call Charter.  AHHHHH.  I still haven’t told anyone I have shifted to charter – so maybe this means I am staying with Verizon.  UNRELIABLE

      I have been having the same issue and just got off the phone with tech support…1st I knew more about the problem then they did (red flag)…second, all they could tell me was the IMAP settings for Charter…then they told me it was a problem with outlook (OK, enough already).

      When I gave her the error code of 571 and told her the problem, I sent her off to get more info (I said it had to be logged somewhere in their system because I saw it in forums).   Here is their response:

      Charter does not support outgoing SMTP in a third party client (like outlook) when you are not running on Charter’s network (not home)…so when you are traveling, you have to use the charter website for email or get/use the outgoing SMTP settings of the the internet provider you are using remotely… ridiculous!

      The error message unfortunately isn’t really helpful (“unknown reason”), but perhaps this is the same issue as with Pat above. Are you connecting from home? If you’re not connecting from a charter IP they might be blocking SMTP.

      You excluded the rest of the error message:

      “Server Response: ‘571 imp09 smtp.charter.net You must connect from Charter IP space.”

      This could mean that you’re not connecting from a Charter IP. Are you away from home or connected to a non-Charter connection?

      It could also mean you’re connected via VPN which reroutes your traffic through an IP address outside Charter.

      I’m not sure why they’d tell you it’s a Windows problem unless they mean that a VPN is set up on it.
