Configuring POP3 mail from Shaw (Canada)

Has anyone been able to configure the Outlook email to pick up email from a Shaw account? (Shaw is an internet provider here in Canada)
I went to the Shaw site and changed the POP3 and SMTP servers to the ones suggested, but I'm still getting a 'not able to download messages' message from Pocket Outlook..
Thanks for your help.

Got it!
OK, I got it to work, so I thought I'd post it here for others, just in case someone else had difficulty.
email address = [email protected]
Incoming Mail Server = pop.shaw.ca (type=POP3 is greyed out)
Username is xxxxx (the first portion of your email address before the @)
Be sure to tick the 'Save Password' box
Outgoing Mail Server = shawmail.cg.shawcable.net
Be sure to untick/clear the 'Outgoing Server requires authentication' box
....then, just set things up as you want them.
Have fun!

Thanks! I don't know why shaw doesn't have this info on their site...Super FAIL by Shaw!
Does anyone know what the IMAP server is? Maybe I will try imap.shaw.ca

IMAP servers are all named mail.shawcable.com good luck

I have been struggling with this for almost 3 months now, and never seemed to be able to get it to work properly, sending both on 3G and Wi-fi using the same server information.
Turns out, it was impossible. Shaw just wasn't set-up for it.
However, THEY'VE FIXED IT!
Here is what you need to do.
----------------------------------------------------------
First, you need to goto your shaw webmail and access the new Shaw Webmail BETA they have started.
Login there, and goto the preferences in the top right.
Goto the Mobile Access tab, and enable mobile access (hit enable, type in your password, and select save at the bottom).
*Note, notice the the password requirements under this menu, as although you CAN ENABLE mobile access with a password that does not meet the requirements (perhaps an older one you have not updated, like me) you will NOT be able to login on you phone with it, so you'll have to go change the password in the online help page (which is kind of a hassel, to be honest)
Once it is enabled, these are your server settings.
Type of Account - Pop3
Incoming server: pop.shaw.ca
Username - <your account>@shaw.ca *note, you must add the "@shaw.ca"
Pass - <your password>
Security Type: None
Port: 110
Outgoing Server: mail.shaw.ca
Login is Required.
Username - <your account>@shaw.ca *note, you must add the "@shaw.ca"
Pass - <your pass>
Security Type: TLS
PORT: 587
*the security type and port are not standard... so watch for this.
This will now allow you to both check and send e-mail on both Wifi and 3G.

Just wanted to say thanks for this. Been struggling with this for a few hours. Would never have found the mobile setup preferences in the beta Shaw web mail.

Configuring iPhone4 to use webmail in wifi environment
I recently purchased an iPhone 4 and had it set up for wifi use to access my Shaw Webmail account. Telus is my provider.
My incoming email works fine with the configuration using pop.shaw.ca, my user name, and password.
However, my outgoing has never worked in the Wi-Fi environment. The threads earlier talk about using Shaw Webmail BETA to go to the Mobile Access tab, and enable mobile access.
Shaw has discontinued Shaw Webmail BETA, and have launched Webmail 2.0
so the Webmail site with 2.0 does not have a Mobile Access tab.
Consequently, my outgoing emails under a Wi-Fi environment still won't send.
My outgoing Mail Server was set up by the folks who sold me the iPhone, and it has the following:
SMTP smtp.telus.net
Other servers: shawmail.ok.shawcable.net
ok.shawcable.net
mail.shaw.ca
shaw.cg.shawcable.net
None of the "Other servers" have a username or password inserted. The above other servers were just added a week ago by the retail store, and a message does come up when I'm using wi-fi saying:
"A copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient "%@" was rejected by the server because the user is unknown."
When i wait awhile and check, the message does send. Anyone know which of the outgoing is the correct one, and is there anything else a person needs to know about Webmail 2.0 to get the settings right??

I just went crazy trying to figure this out for two weeks. Both SHAW and WIND told me it was not possible. I could get the incoming working but not the outgoing.
Here is what worked.
1. SIgn up for shaw beta webmail - type in wmbeta.shaw.ca
2. Under mobile preferences, select ENABLED versus DISABLED.
3. Then the instructions on this PDF work. The forum won't let me paste links, but there is a PDF that comes up from SHAW when you google "shaw email android"
Good luck!

Push Email - Gmail account

Has anyone managed to sync there TD with their gmail account?
Ive gone to the settings in the gmail account, and enabled imapi and followed the intructions for setting it up on the TD2, but i allways get a message saying account details are incorrect...when i know 100% they are right.
Rob

Gmail working with my TD2 is no problen.

Me too. I have no problem with gmail and my TD2.

did you set it up using the below instructions?
1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail settings.
2. Open the Start menu and select Programs > Messaging > New E-mail Account.
3. Enter your Gmail address (including '@gmail.com') in the E-mail Address field*. Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format '[email protected]_domain.com'*.
* Windows Mobile 6.1 users: Enter an unintelligible email address (such as '[email protected]') at this step. This will bypass the automatic configuration for POP access.
4. Uncheck the box that asks to get settings automatically from the Internet and select Next.
5. Select Internet e-mail as your email provider in the drop-down menu.
6. Enter your name as you want it to appear in sent emails.
7. Enter a descriptive name for the email account and select Next.
8. Enter 'imap.gmail.com' in the Incoming Mail Server field.
9. Select IMAP4 as the Account type from the drop-down menu and select Next.
10. Enter your full email address (including '@gmail.com' or '@your_domain.com') and password.
11. Select Next.
12. Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' in the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server field.
13. Make sure that the Outgoing server requires authentication box is checked.
14. Select the Advanced Server Settings link.
15. Make sure that the Require SSL box is checked for both incoming and outgoing emails.
16. Select The Internet as the network connection from the drop-down menu.
17. Select Done and then Next.
18. Select how often you want your phone to send/receive emails from the drop-down menu.
19. For more download options, select the Review all download settings link.
20. Select Finish.
21. Check our recommended client settings, and adjust your client's settings as needed.

Works
Yep had gmail set-up on my td2 for ages now, never had any problems with it. Was a simple set up through windows mobile email wizard.

Work
Oh and no didn't use the method above, I let the phone get the settings automatically from the internet.

This is not really PUSH email right? The phone still goes to retrieve the mail on a specified schedule rather than the server(gmail) pushing the email over to the phone when it receives a new email.

unfortunately, yes. The only way to have PUSH email, is when you connect to an exchange server.
Or you can use alternative email programs, out there, that doesn't have the IMAP "IDLE" protocol crippled, like pocket outlook.

Profimail's IMAP IDLE works really great.

Mail Client

is anyone still having problems setting up their exchange mail on the htc mail client?
i just figured out to successfully set up mine..
the error was me not having "permission" to set it up

I am still unsucessful in setting it up. How did you solve your problem?

do you have the web-based link where you can login to the "outlook web access"?

yep i have... I am assuming that my exchange serve does not allow non-provisional devices.

yeah same problem with me...but i found a way around it
you have to go to your outlook and in the connection settings, enable outlook anywhere
i'll tell you step by step but the site does it better..
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP101024441033.aspx
once your done, put the domain in your phone (the https site without the https)
let me know if that works

hi zidane,
Thanks for the instructions. However I tried the method in the website, but still din work for me.

can you tell me you settings?

email: [email protected]
server address: xxxmail.com
domain: xxx
username: abcde
password: **** (includes a dot.)
SSL selected
At my outlook:
connection tab -> selected "Exchange over the Internet"
Under connection settings: Use this URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange -> "https://xxxmail.com"
Proxy authentication settings -> NTLM Authntication

for the url, if the https:// is already written on the side you do not need to re-write it again...
then u tick the use SSL box, then tick the box under that and write "msstd:xxxmail.com"
and keep everything else the same...

[Q] Space in Mail username

Hi everybody!
My eschange server (Active directory) allows me to connect as Name Space LastName.
The outlook client in my brand new HD7 doesen't!
Any workaround??
THanks in advance

Your post doesn't make a lot of sense.
My eschange server (Active directory) allows me to connect as Name Space LastName.
Through what? Outlook? Yes, that is somewhat normal, even though Outlook, in the background, connects as your Active Directory account name, even though it displays to you First Last.
In your phone, and this is the same on ANY phone you connect to Exchange with, you have to make the initial connection with your account name/email address. Then password. Then the phone tries, fails, and wants your Domain name. Then the phone tries, fails, and makes you hit an Advanced button to enter the servername (typically mail.servername.com).
It's really not much different than any other phone that ever existed that has the ability to connect to Exchange.

same problem here...
username: john malcovich
password: test
domain: losangeles.com
server: iphone.losangeles.com
"john malcovich" cannot be entered
only
"johnmalcovich"
damn it

any idea if Mango RTM support Exchange username with space in it?

any way to view saved cookies/passwords Nokia 930?

hi first of all i am new here and very green
i had a major meltdown of my laptop which i usually keep all the passwords for IE.
long story short i lost all my passwords but had some stored (on IE) on my nokia 930. i have no way of getting the password reset as i do not have the email address anymore (disposable one doh), but have the info stored on my Lumia. is there any way i can get the info off the phone so i can get my old account back?
tbh i am not sure where to look and have tried google (ing) it but can't find an answer.
thanks in advance

There's no easy way to get at the cookies on a Lumia, but there are a few tricky ways. One of the least bad, if you run Windows 8.1, is just to turn on synching between the phone and the PC. On the phone, go to Settings -> Sync my settings, and turn on the Internet Explorer and Passwords options. This does send your passwords through Microsoft, but it should work. On the (new) PC, use Windows 8.1 and sign in with the same Microsoft account you used to sign into the phone. Make sure the PC is also set to sync settings, run IE on the PC, and hopefully it'll have your credentials!
The next best option / best option that doesn't send your credentials through a third party is probably to use a proxy. Fiddler is free and fairly easy to use. Install it on a PC, connect the phone to the same network as the PC, run Fiddler and tell it to allow external connections (the setting for this is under Fiddler Options), and then go to the WiFi settings on the phone and tell it to use the PC's IP address (and the port Fiddler is listening on) as a proxy server. To set a proxy, press and hold on the WiFi network that you're using (on the phone) and select Edit. Once the proxy is set, use IE on the phone to browse to the relevant sites, and you'll be able to see the cookie values (which are not passwords, but are authentication tokens that are usable at least in the short term). If you need the secure (HTTPS) cookies, you can tell Fiddler to decrypt HTTPS traffic and then export the certificate it uses to create fake site certs. Install Fiddler's root CA cert on the phone and you'll then be able to see HTTPS traffic too.

thanks @GoodDayToDie.
I will give it a go, although I don't run 8.1 on the laptop I will go borrow someone else's
