yeah so my shaw account is messed up

[nature boy]

i noticed that i wasn't getting emails on my phone, so i thought something was wrong with the account settings. i looked into it and my password wasn't working. i got onto a computer and it still didn't work. crap, i knew i should have changed it from 'password' (i'm not even joking). i thought it got hacked, so i tried to get back into it.

then i thought shaw was down but winnie's account worked fine.

then i called my mom. you know, the one whose shaw account my email is attached to. turns out she's on telus now. son of a...

lols... that's why i switched to gmail... my telus email still works but it's attached to my parents' account. I don't even want to use my own shaw emails... if you want, i can set up your shaw email again on my account so you get to use the same email addy

[geForce]

Haha, same with me. I switched to a web-based email because of this. My old telus email is linked to my parents account. They transferred their telus account when they moved so I still have the telus email, but who knows how long they'll be on it.

Oh yeah, btw - stop emailing me at my telus account. haha

[Wetundies]

why don't you transfer your email account to winnie's shaw account.

[nature boy]

yeah, i was going to transfer it to winnie's parent's account. however, since i didn't know about my mom cancelling at all (she switched a week ago she said), my account has currently been suspended (i think). i don't know if they "retire" old addresses or what, but i can't create a new account with our current shaw account.

i've tried customer service already. super long line up. i'll have to wait until later. until then, email darkness haha.

[Wetundies]

Shaw has the call back feature instead of staying on hold.

[nature boy]

yup, i used that. but they called me back while i was driving and i didn't hear it.

[nature boy]

just got off the phone with customer service. supposedly it works now, i can see it on the shaw customer care website, but i have yet to be able to log in on webmail (or set it up on my phone).
well, at least it's there.

[joel]

that didn't seem so bad.

[nature boy]

except i have roughly a 24 hour window of no emails. pair that with the blackout i had over the weekend with my work account and i'm so out of touch man.

[joel]

good thing you still had the forums to keep you in touch during those times.

[nature boy]

haha yeah.

so my shaw account still isn't working. i see it under the listings of email addresses under this account (newlifeodyssey@shaw.ca lol), but i can't log in in webmail. weird.

[nature boy]

just an update:
i called support again and everything's up and running again. let the email barrage commence!

[Wetundies]

it would of been funny if one of us called in to claim your email address.

[nature boy]

yeah, it's pretty weird they didn't even ask me for any credentials or anything. i just told them the situation and they transferred it. it could have been anyone.
