How to Set Up Shaw Email on an Android Phone

These settings come from Shaw’s own instructions for older Android versions. Menu names differ between phones, and a provider can change its security requirements, so confirm the current values with Shaw before relying on them.

Before you start

• Your full Shaw email address
• Your email account password
• A working Wi-Fi or mobile data connection

Incoming server settings

1. Open the app drawer and tap the Email app.
2. If this is your first account, the setup screen opens. Otherwise press the Menu button and tap Add account.
3. Enter your full email address and your password, then tap Manual setup.
4. Choose POP3 account.
5. Fill in the fields:

• Username: your full email address
• Password: your email account password
• POP server: pop.shaw
• Port: 110
• Security type: None

6. Tap Next. The phone connects and checks the incoming settings.

Outgoing server settings

1. SMTP server: mail.shaw
2. Port: 587 (make sure it stays at 587)
3. Security: TLS, accepting all certificates
4. Tick Require sign-in, then enter your full email address and password.
5. Tap Next. The phone checks the outgoing settings.

Account options

Choose how often the phone checks for mail. A shorter interval uses more battery. Tick the notification box if you want an alert in the status bar for new messages, give the account a name, and enter the name that recipients should see.

Troubleshooting

• If the incoming check fails, retype the password and confirm the username is the whole address.
• If sending fails, check that the outgoing port is 587 and that sign-in is required.
• If nothing works, ask Shaw whether it now requires encrypted incoming connections.
