Telus Mail to Gmail

We've always used IMAP and POP and have never used webmail, does this changeover affect us?

  • Looks like we're getting 'transitioned' whether we want to or not. I have two passwords for these accounts, one for POP3 one for SMTP. Need to know which one I'm supposed to use, anyone know? The chatbot is useless. Thx.

      Now it's getting farcical. I'm trying to set a date for the big transition and it won't accept any combo of password or alias to log into the 'webmail' thing on the linked page. Am I supposed to set up separate accounts first? We've always used real email and don't have a clue how to do that.

        Have you logged into webmail.telus.net to confirm your access password?

        That should be the one to use in the transition.

    I was able to setup POP3 successfully, but somehow I'm unable to post the steps.

    Except for the difficulty one user has reported with Outlook, you should be able to set it up to use you choice of mail application on computers and phones.

      I'm disappointed there does not seem to be adequate support to help Outlook 365 users manage their Gmail that has migrated from TELUS.net.   I can't believe I am unique in my desire to continue using Outlook, and find it amazing the TELUS.net->Gmail migration team did not think this was worth addressing.   Can someone direct me to a place where I can use Outlook to manage my TELUS.net Gmail?

      So basically, I don't need to change anything? We use Pegasus and Mailwasher. I'd rather not use any webmail application for our 'real' email.
