Setting up your Shaw webmail account to your iPhone/iPad is simple, just follow these short and simple steps. If you’re adding an additional account with software version 2.0 or later:

  1. Touch the Settings icon on the Home screen,
  2. Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars
  3. Select Add Account…
  4. Select Other
  5. Select Add Mail Account
  6. and enter your account information.
  7. Select Next
  8. Choose the POP account button
  9. Enter the following information in the spaces provided under Incoming Mail Server:
    1. Host Name – Enter ‘pop.shaw.ca’
    2. User Name – Your Shaw email address without the @shaw.ca
    3. Password – Enter your email password.
  10. Enter the following information in the spaces provided under Outgoing Mail Server:
    1. Host Name – Enter ‘mail.shaw.ca’
    2. User Name – Your Shaw email address without the @shaw.ca
    3. Password – Enter your email password.
  11. Click Save
  12. You will see a message: ‘Cannot Connect Using SSL’ – select Yes

In software version 2.0 or later, Mail can automatically setup many popular POP and IMAP email accounts using just your email address and password. As Mail looks up settings that match your email account you may see a note appear that will describe any limitations you may experience in using your email account.

The above instructions come straight from Shaw, and should now be the best way to setup your email with your iPhone/iPad.
