The next solution to this problem is entering your settings manually. 

In this regard, you have to get the preferred server settings from Shaw and use them. 

In the manual setting, you can either choose POP or IMAP settings. You can choose IMAP if you want your emails to be stored on the Shaw server.

Difference Between POP and IMAP

When setting up your Shaw email manually, you may be concerned about IMAP and POP. 

Do not worry too much about the choice you use since they are all the same. 

The difference only lies in where your mail is stored.

• With the POP server, the mail is stored on your device and deleted from the server.
• With IMAP, the mail is stored on the server and can be accessed at all times.

If you intend to keep your emails for future reference, IMAP is much better. 

You won’t lose your emails even if you lose your device. However, POP is much better in case you want to get rid of your email address.

If you have been searching for how to set up Shaw email on your iPhone, the steps above should help you finish the process.
