The popular ISP, Telus, provides multiple email accounts to their subscribers. Depending on the plan chosen, you can get 5 to 10 email addresses – everyone in the family can have one! And each Telus email account can be kept private protected with its own username and password.
Two ways to use your Telus email account
Email accounts can be accessed via the Telus webmail or an email client such as Outlook Express. You can use either of these methods and even both! Based on the results of a poll that I ran, a majority of the users employ email programs to check email accounts.

Though webmail is an easier option allowing you to check messages from any computer as long as there is an active internet connection (not necessarily one provided by Telus), email programs can be used to download and save Telus email messages on your computer.
So which method should you use to access Telus email?
One of the advantages of webmail is the ability to use the email account from any computer located anywhere in the world. Not only would you be able to check messages but also contacts data via the webmail interface. You can get the webmail interface via the Telus login page.
Email programs, on the other hand, can help you download messages which will then be available even without an active net connection. To know more, read the advantages of email programs such as Outlook Express.
