MTS mail
Darrell
server to pop3.live.com (or something similar) Sounds like an MSN
address. Does anyone know anything about this? Friend of mine needs
help.

wtf?
I'm not picking up what you are laying down here.
Shaw's servers haven't changed for as long as I can remember. And if they
did, they kept their addressing the same.

You're on fucking drugs. Shaw's email is handled by their own server farm as
it always has been since the IP/ISP's that formed @home group was disbanded
a decade ago. Their newsgroups are also still handled by that same Shaw
server farm, except that that portion of it is now a high winds media mirror
site rather than the NG's being administered separately by Shaw staff..
MTS is partnered (read owned) by Bell, partnered with M$'s Live network and
provides all the internet to telephone services and users have to pay extra
for it, be it local or long distance.
Where the fuck do you get off continually using inuendo about Shaw and it's
services when you don't know the first fucking thing about it, and never
have. While Shaw may not be a model of perfection, they've always been very
up front with their internet subscribers about all changes, and they have no
intention of discontinuing newsgroups, or altering e-mail. so fuck off and
die you senile cockroach.

As the others have said it IS M$. If you don't want to use it then my
suggestion is to login to GMail (once) to set up an account. While there
enable POP3 or IMAP and get your mail through your regular e-mail
program. This way you have all the advantages of your favourite program
and none of the hassles of using a web interface more than once. Plus if
you move to another ISP you don't have to mess around with creating new
accounts all over the place.

their attention. As an alternative to MSN or Shaw it is pretty good.

Follow the instructions. They haven't contacted me to change over my MTS
email account yet, but I used the instructions to revive my old hotmail
account so I can access it through Outlook Express again.

have yet to be notified.

No, actually he doesn't. Stu Pickle is a notorious know-it-all idjit ... I

So what you are saying then is shaw outsourced their mail and news servers.
If they did, they did it the smart way without causing grief for the user
base.
I've been a shaw subscriber since the videon days and I've only had one
hiccup.... That's when shaw acquired videon.
Other than that, nothing but net.
MTS on the other hand has put users through all sorts of crap.

One of their techs, as in one of the contracted installers?
If so, then there is no reason to believe that he has any clue about
anything beyond the wires going into your house. And then only just.
It's just as likely that he's spouting off to pretend that he has a clue.
Like 75% of what you read on Usenet.

b4 logging back into live.com mail. Something about confirming identity.

I have my own domain and use hosted mail servers, so there is no mts.net
or mymts.net email coming from me. However, MTS is blocking all of my
attempts to use my own smtp server. I can use the Microsoft live one to
send mail (which I do) or I can use Google's gmail server (which I do as
well), but I cannot connect to my own domain's SMTP...

Doesn't your host server have an alternate port? Mine does, through
Dreamhost.
