Key notes
- When using Charter Email (or Spectrum Email), you can access your Inbox either using the Spectrum webmail interface, or another email client such as Outlook.
- In this article, we're showing you how to configure Charter email for Outlook 2016.
- The email server details are also mentioned so you don't have to look them up.
If you’ve been a customer of Charter.net (Charter Communications) for some time now, you should know that they have been rebranded. They did not alter the email domain, though, so no modifications here.
On the other hand, if you’re a new customer, you might have learned that the Internet and cable television provider has an integrated email service that you can benefit from along with other services.
Charter (now Charter Spectrum) also offers the same services for business clients. Part of their business line, depending on the package you select, they provide between two and 25 email accounts for your business to use.
You can access these accounts via their webmail interface, or you can integrate your Microsoft Outlook desktop client with Charter, via IMAP/ SMTP.
How can I set up a Charter email in Outlook 2016?

- Choose Services >Internet.
- Choose Create Email Address and create a new username.

If you’re using the service for business purposes, you need a registered domain name with Spectrum Business and a Spectrum Business Internet subscription.
