Set up Shaw (shaw.ca)
in any email app.
The correct IMAP, POP3 and SMTP settings for Shaw (shaw.ca). Use these with BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird or any other mail client.
Instead of using Shaw's webmail interface, you can use a mobile or desktop email app like BlueMail, Outlook, Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird. Desktop email apps offer more features, faster access and offline reading. Your messages are right there even without a connection.
How to set up Shaw in BlueMail
- Get BlueMail. Install BlueMail free on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows or Linux, or open web.bluemail.me in your browser.
- Add your account. Open BlueMail and tap Add Account, then choose Email.
- Sign in with your Shaw address. Enter your full Shaw email address and password.
- Let BlueMail find the settings. BlueMail detects the correct Shaw servers automatically. If you're asked to enter them manually, use the settings below: incoming imap.shaw.ca and outgoing mail.shaw.ca exactly as listed.
- Done. Your Shaw inbox appears and stays in sync on every device you sign in on.
Two Shaw quirks before you start
First, your username is the part before @shaw.ca — not the full address. Second, Shaw only accepts IMAP/POP connections while your Shaw Webmail is set to Classic mode: open webmail.shaw.ca on a computer, go to Mail Preferences and select Classic (it can't be changed from the mobile view). Shaw email is operated by Rogers these days and no longer accepts new addresses, but existing @shaw.ca mailboxes keep working.
