Yes, the last little while shaw webmail has become completely unreliable. It  is a complete PITA when you get a confirmation code sent to your email and unable to use it because it times out by the time you can temporarily gain access before it become unreachable again.

I believe it is an overload problem. Early morning and late night it connects.

For me, Shaw WebMail connects most of the time.  Maybe, as Shaw customers check their E-mail during breakfast, the Shaw servers (WebMail & the "ID/password-authenticator") have "peak" usage.  

Over a year ago, the issue was much more common. It seems like Shaw has upgraded their servers since then.

I finally got mine to work properly by going into Google settings - More tools - Performance - Extentions - Turned off all extentions. The one that might have been given me the most problems is McAfee Web advisor.  Make sure that one is turned off.

Firefox keeps blocking access to Shaw.ca email. Started a month ago. I've had Firefox for decades, but I cannot tolerate having to repeatedly phone Shaw.  I'm gonna have to dump Shaw email.
