Saving emails outside of shaw

[BHM]

I continually get an email message "quota warning" so now I know that I have too many emails saved to folders and i am told to delete them but I need them as I do volunteer work and they are records of letters I send out.

I was also told to move them but to where? and how?

Thanks!

Hey BHM,

There is the Export feature in Shaw webmail, have you tried that?

Alternatively, you could use an email client software and set it up so all the emails are downloaded locally and then deleted off your Shaw webmail. This will allow you to keep a copy of every single email on say your work computer while freeing up space from the server that all the messages initially must go to.

@Lindaloo21 -- don't know what Webmail is

Open your web-browser, and access http://WebMail.Shaw.ca

Login with your Shaw E-mail ID & password, to see your E-mail messages.

Along the left edge of the window, click on the word "Trash".

Select and permanently delete all the items, to free-up more of your "quota" for new messages.

Hi, I found Webmail page but still cannot figure out how to save email messages in my computer. I miss human contact in problem solving!

@Lindaloo21 -- do you see the following after clicking "Preferences" within shaw WebMail?

There are both "spam" and "Import/Export" items.

HELP! No Export Feature on my Shaw Webmail that I can find...

@Lindaloo21 -- no feature

1. Login to Shaw WebMail;
2. Click on "Preferences";
3. Do you see that "Import/Export" among the choices along the left edge? If so, click on those words.

If that is not what you are seeing, can you use the Windows Snipping Tool to capture a screen-shot of what you see, after you have clicked "Preferences", and post that image into this thread?
