Once you have created your new @shaw.ca email account, you'll need to configure your email program.

Note: You can configure your email program to allow you to access both your existing @home.com email address and your new @shaw.ca email address. To do this, select the Create a new account option below.

Chances are you'll already have your existing @home.com email account configured into your email program, so you have two options:

1. Create a new account
2. Modify your existing email account information
