Mail.app Settings for a Roadrunner Account

Open Mail and go to >Mail > Preferences
Click on Accounts and choose Add Account

1. Account Type is POP
2. Description is whatever you want (ex. work, home, your name, etc.)
3. Email address will be name@stny.rr.com (they will tell you)
4. Full Name is how your email will be address with your real name.
5. Incoming Mail Server is pop-server.stny.rr.com (be very careful with spelling)
6. User name will be the first part of the email address they gave you in #3 above
7. Password (they will give you one, then ask you to change it. Put the changed one in here)
8. Outgoing Mail Server is smtp-server.stny.rr.com
9. Under Advanced Mail.app defaults to never remove copies from server. Eventually your RR account will become full. I have mine set to Remove right away. So when I pull my email it automatically deletes it from the server.
That should be it.
There are some other settings you can tweak but this will get you going.
