Notes on MTS Business Email conversion.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today about upgrading your custom vanity domain name (CVDN) email account(s). To recap our conversation for you:

  • MTS will upgrade your email service on the evening of April 15.
  • Please make the setting changes below to your email client prior to April 15, 2010.  Please do not remove your existing settings until after April 15 as this will cause you to stop receiving email.  After your email has been upgraded successfully you must remove your old pop.mts.net settings.

Setting information:

  • POP Server: mail.mtsbiz.net
  • POP Port: 995
  • SSL Enabled: Yes
  • SMTP Server: mail.mtsbiz.net
  • SMTP Port: 587
  • SSL Enabled: Yes
  • SMTP Authentication: Yes
  • IMAP Server: mail.mtsbiz.net
  • IMAP Port: 993
  • SSL Enabled: Yes

For help configuring your email client, go to http://www.mts.ca/businessemailsettings for step-by-step instructions.

  • There will be a ten-day freeze for email administration changes between April 5 and April 15. If you make administration changes (e.g.: adding new or removing old mailboxes, changing a mailbox password) during this time, they’ll need to be made again after the upgrade is complete.
  • To avoid error messages, your old email settings must be removed after the cut-over date.
  • For mailbox access and management after April 15, login to Easymail (Website OS) at http://hosting.mtsbiz.net. Login using your domain and password, click Email, then click Easymail Setup 3.
  • If you had previously acquired additional email products (e.g.: additional email accounts or an email hosting plan) you may notice a change on your monthly invoice. In all cases, these changes will reflect an amount equal to or less than the amount shown on your previous invoice.

As a CVDN email webmail user, please remember to back-up your webmail messages, as they will not be moved as part of the new Business Email upgrade. Starting April 16 to login to webmail you will use webmail.mtsbiz.net

Thanks again for your time. We will email you once more upon successful completion of the upgrade.

If you have any questions, please email us at businessinternet@mtsallstream.com.

Shaw’s Internet Rocks!

Here’s a screenshot from my favorite torrent program called uTorrent. I was able to reach speeds up to 1.3Mb/sec!! I’ve noticed a huge speed jump since Shaw went to the new network of “174.5.117.X”.

*NOTE* – I still miss the 24.X.X.X network IP range only because I think it looked nicer. 😛

Keep up the good work SHAW!

Shaw cable updated their network in Riverheights Winnipeg

I noticed that my speed had dropped on the Shaw network the last few weeks. The other night around 11:00 when I was working on a client’s machine I suddenly got disconnected from the internet. I noticed my modem was not connecting to Shaw headquarters. The connection came back several  minutes later. I noticed that the IP address was no longer the trusty 24.X.X.X IP address I had been used I’ve has a 24.X.X.X IP address for over 8 years. It is now 174.5.X.X. So long 24.X.X.X it was fun knowing you!

Info on Shaw’s Email Settings & Limits

Shaw Logo Their original info can be found here: Info on Shaw’s Email Settings & Limits. I like to make notes on this because I find Shaw’s website very hard to navigate. This post will list all of Shaw’s Email settings as well as all the Email limits, server names etc.

Email Service Details (Business info NOT Home Users)

Shaw Business Internet gives you dependable POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and Web-based email access. For the technical details and capabilities of these services, check the charts below.

Port 25 Filter

Port 25 Filter

Connections made to Port 25 (the standard SMTP port for outbound email) that are not directed toward a Shaw Email server are blocked.
In an effort to reduce the volume of Unsolicited Bulk Email (SPAM), any outbound traffic on Port 25 that is not directed toward a Shaw Email Server is blocked.
If you connect to third-party mail systems to send email you must ensure that you:

  • Obtain an alternate port number from your third-party email provider

OR

  • Subscribe to Shaw Business Internet services using a static IP address and DOCSIS modem

Port 25 filtering will NOT affect you if:

  • You use Shaw’s Email Servers to send email
  • You only connect to third-party mail systems to receive email, but still use Shaw’s Email Server to send email
  • You subscribe to a Shaw Business Internet package that includes both a Static IP and a DOCSIS modem

*For the purpose of these sending limits, Shaw defines an email message as a single message sent to a single recipient address. A single message sent to three recipient addresses would therefore count as three messages against the daily limit.
