Need a new email address? You can create up to 10 addresses (eg. username@shaw.ca) as part of your Shaw account. Before you scroll down, log in to the Shaw.ca website or download the My Shaw app for your mobile device.
Before you get started...
If you’re creating a new Shaw email address while you're at home and connected to Shaw Internet, you'll be prompted to provide your phone number as a security measure.
If you're away from home, you'll be asked to provide:
- your Shaw Account Number
- the phone number on your Shaw account
- your postal code
We recommend having all of those things handy before you continue.
Email username rules
You can get creative with your username, but there are some necessary restrictions.
- usernames must be at least 3 characters long
- usernames must begin with a letter — not a number or symbol
- you cannot use these characters: / \ & ‘ “ ? | , +
Example of an acceptable email username: jane.doe@shaw.ca
If your username isn’t available, you’ll be asked to choose a different one.
