Open the Spectrum Email app from your iPhone's home screen. You'll see the login screen where you can enter your credentials.
Type your Spectrum email address and password in the appropriate fields. Make sure your credentials are correct and that Caps Lock is off.
If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you'll receive a verification code via text message. Enter this code when prompted.
After successful authentication, you'll be taken to your Spectrum Email inbox where you can read, send, and manage your emails.
Tap on the Settings app on your iPhone's home screen to begin the setup process.
Scroll down and tap on "Mail", then select "Accounts" and tap "Add Account".
From the list of email providers, select "Other" at the bottom since Spectrum isn't listed as a default option.
Tap "Add Mail Account" and enter your name, Spectrum email address, password, and a description for the account.
