I tried sending Shaw emails to somebody’s Outlook live account:
Setup Email in Windows Live Mail
https://community.shaw.ca/docs/DOC-2113
After connecting, it says “update in progress”, but it seems to be stuck on that.
When you click on edit, the default ports are 110 and 587.
I instead tried what was on the Shaw documentation page:
POP Settings
Incoming server information
Server type POP
Server address pop.shaw.ca
User Name Shaw email without @shaw.ca
Password Your email password
Security type SSL
Port 995
Outgoing server information
Server address mail.shaw.ca
User Name Shaw email without @shaw.ca
Password Your email password
Security type TLS
Port 587
- -
(There is only one encryption field, so I guessed SSL).
It still gives you an “update in progress”.

Gmail on the other hand seems to work fine.
I think that I only had to put the Shaw email and password.
POP.shaw.ca and 995 is put in for you.
Also, if you decide to enable the option of being labelled as Shaw when you send a message, the following information is filled.
>Secured connection on port 587 using TLS
Instead of Outlook Live’s “update in progress”, Gmail shows status updates after you connect an account:
>Last checked: 19 minutes ago.200 mails fetched.View history 161 mails remaining.
I tried sending my Gmail account emails to my Outlook live account, and it worked:

I’m confused as to why I have a different “connecting additional email accounts” page than that person in the first example (sending Shaw mails to Outlook live).
On the top left for me, it says outlook.com.
For him, it says outlook mail (preview).
