Kevin;
One suggestion is...open up an email account with Mail@Google.
Google will allow you to store 2.5 Gig of email on their website.
Then you use Google Mail program to automatically forward that email to
your Shaw account. Set Google to have the mail stay on their server for your
backup.
I believe you need an invitation from an existing member to sign up. If
you want to use them as a backup..let me know and I'll send you an
invitation.
2.5 Gig will hold a lot of emails.
