Huge problem with Shaw and Apple Mail. Shaw now insisting I must use Shaw webmail.

Shaw is my internet provider. I have always used the Mail app on my computer. All of a sudden Shaw says they do not support apps other than Shaw Webmail for emails. I have spent at least 24 hours on Shaw's help line in the past few months. They keep referring me to AppleCare which has been somewhat of a help but it is Shaw's problem. Has anyone else run up against this situation? The odd thing is that this only affects my email and ONE friend's! I cannot send myself an email without it being marked (SPAM). If I email her from Mail she does not receive it so we have had to use Shaw Webmail which is inferior in every way.

We don't know what Shaw is telling you so we can't give you any more specific information that something like this: https://support.shaw.ca/t5/internet-articles/how-to-set-up-your-shaw-email/ta-p/6497


If you haven't yet setup your e-mail according to these instructions, that would be your first step. Shaw even appears to support Exchange. That is what I would recommend.


I have heard of some providers that charge extra money for any e-mail service better than webmail. I didn't see any indication from Shaw's support pages that they are doing this. But I wouldn't know if they have changed policies and told you that specifically over the phone.

Can speak to Bell Canada using any e-mail client on Apple Computers to access ISP Mail Account


If I am located Outside of Canada and attempt to access Bell Canada e-mail account - No Go period.


For them, they claim the Bell Canada Mail Servers are located in Canada and will not allow IP Address from Outside CDN to work.


They further claim this is a Secure Feature .

we are both on Shaw. Both of our computers have been gone over with a fine tooth comb by both Shaw (whom I no longer trust) and AppleCare. Our settings have been gone over on the phone and a technician has come to our houses. Most think it's a setting. It is exhausting. If I send MYSELF a test email, it arrives here marked as (SPAM).
