I have a micro SD card working here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=19802&p=87620#p87620 but I am not using a breakout board.

Thank you for your input. In the meantime I also tried it without the adapter and it worked flawlessly.

Thank you for the clarification!

The SD card and the micro SD card aren't the same. All the SD adapter for the Micro SD card is doing is connecting the pins. The cards have different protocols and the roadrunner email software interface has to talk to the card the card in its protocol for it to work.

Thanks for the reply viktak. I'm facing the exact same situation (not building a hard disk though). Actually, I've exchanged the micro SD card 2 times from the store I bought it from thinking that it was broken or not working. Anyways, I'm going to read more on this topic you shared. Thanks again man.
