Set up Shaw email account in Outlook Express

Posted on March 21, 2010 under Email, ISP, Outlook Express  |  Leave a comment

I want to use Shaw email with Outlook Express and I already have the program on my Windows XP computer. Shaw told me that I need to set up the email account but have no idea how to proceed. Would greatly appreciate any help in this matter.

Your Shaw email account can easily be set up in Outlook Express, the default email program on Windows XP computer. With this you would be able to download and store messages on your computer; thus, email is accessible even without an internet connection.

If you have multiple Shaw email accounts, all of them can be set up in the email client. You can either use Outlook Express Identities to segregate the different users or just put them together and then create message rules to sort incoming email to different folders.

Shaw email incoming and outgoing server for POP access

Posted on March 21, 2010 under Email, ISP  |  Leave a comment

The Shaw email account can be accessed via the webmail interface (read Shaw email login for details) and an email program such as Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail. For the latter, one needs to know the Shaw email incoming and outgoing servers to set up or configure the account in the client. Once the email account is set up, the program will automatically connect to the server and download messages on your local computer.

Get Shaw email on Windows 7 – Windows Live Mail

Posted on March 21, 2010 under Email, ISP, Windows Live Mail  |  Leave a comment

I had Outlook Express installed on my old system and used the Shaw email with it. Now I have a new Windows 7 laptop. How can I get Shaw email on this computer? I don’t see any email program that I can use and desperately need to check the account for some important messages.
Michael Dickerson

Though Outlook Express is missing on Windows 7 operating system, a nicer and better, as some may opine, alternative is available in Windows Live Mail. However, this new email client differs significantly from Outlook Express in the way it organizes email accounts and messages. There is no common inbox because each account that’s added in the program gets its own set of five folders – “Inbox“, “Drafts“, “Sent items“, “Junk e-mail” and “Deleted items“. So if you have 3 Shaw email accounts, you’ll end up with a 3 inboxes and 15 folders!

Windows Live email required on Windows 7?

Posted on March 20, 2010 under Windows Live Mail  |  Leave a comment

I have recently purchased a laptop with Microsoft Windows 7 installed. It appears that I need Windows Live email (Hotmail) or Google email address (Gmail) to use it. If this is indeed the case, how on earth do I install my current email address that I have been using on Outlook Express?
Jeremy Furness

Another round of name changes at Microsoft has lead to many of its loyal users failing to differentiate between different products and services. The web-based email, Hotmail, was put under the ‘Live’ umbrella and changed to Windows Live Hotmail. Outlook Express, the popular email client, gave way to Windows Mail on Vista which itself was replaced by Windows Live Mail on Windows 7. Hence it comes as no surprise that people like Jeremy get confused with the “Windows Live” nomenclature.

To clarify – You doesn’t need a Windows Live email (Hotmail) account or a Gmail address to use the Windows Live Mail program on the Windows 7 operating system.

Windows Live email account verification

Posted on March 20, 2010 under Hotmail  |  Leave a comment

I’ve learnt that some Widnows Live email (Hotmail) account users are repeatedly asked for account verification. This generally happens when one is about to send an email. A simple message – “We need to ask you to verify your account. After you do that, please come back and click Send again. This helps us fight spammers.” – is displayed at the top and the system waits for your actions; refer image below.

There was a significant number of emails I received today from users who complained that they cannot delete email stored in their Hotmail account.

Cannot open Hotmail email account?

Posted on March 17, 2010 under Hotmail  |  1 Comment

I’ve been having a horrendous time lately. I cannot open my Hotmail email and have tried all what I know. The password is correct and but the page doesn’t show up with my emails.
Jesse Campbell

No success with Hotmail sign up. I am told that the password is incorrect and I have to type it again. This is very frustrating because I need to open some really important emails on this Hotmail account.
Ditrapani Franco

Ever since my son was here on holidays, I cannot open my Hotmail because I see only his emails. Earlier, I used to click on the icon and my emails would come up. What is going on? Where have my emails gone? I hope they haven’t vanished because I had some really important stuff there.
Paul Acquah

These are just some of the feedback I’ve received from Hotmail subscribers. As you may have gathered, there can be any number of reasons why you cannot cannot open a Hotmail email account. The first step, therefore, is to identify the problem correctly. Is the sign up page not loading? Are you getting a password incorrect error message? Or as the last of the feedbacks shows, another person’s email account loads instead of yours?

Charter email login

Posted on March 17, 2010 under Email, ISP  |  Leave a comment

I got an internet connection from Charter communication recently. I was told that I get an email address too. How can I use this Charter email login on my new computer? I like to know the different options I have and which one is better?
Buddy Windham

Most email accounts can be accessed in two ways – through a web browser or an email client. The first option is definitely simpler because no additional software is required – all programs you need already exist on your computer. The other option requires you to configure the account using Charter incoming and outgoing servers; refer how to set up Charter.net email on Windows 7: Windows Live Mail client. This will download email to your computer so that it’s accessible even without an active internet connection.

Web site control and ownership

Posted on March 17, 2010 under Internet Tips, Web Development  |  Leave a comment

I have a domain name and a working website on free hosting at the moment. I intend to upgrade to a better form of hosting. However, the problem I have is a breakdown in communication with the person who put my site for me. He seems to be able to tweak and change things as and when I want him to, although can leave me waiting. And for this reason I want to take control of my business and site, so to speak. However, he hasn’t been very forthcoming and I don’t know what to do. I have feeling he doesn’t want to hand over web site control! I really want the web site control and ownership – can this be done? And would I be able to do changes and tweaks etc. once I have upgraded hosting and maybe purchase a web package?
Anton Hedges

A professional ‘web site‘ consists of a domain name, the web hosting account and the actual web site files (web pages and other multimedia files). The ownership and the control of these can lie with different individuals. Once you consider these three ’segments’ as individual entities, understanding web site control and ownership becomes easy to explain and to grasp.
