Android Phone - Shaw E-mail Address - Telus Service

Title says it all.

I took the plunge today and picked up the HTC Desire HD today, on the Telus Mobility network.

I quickly found out that getting my Shaw e-mail on the HTC is not possible through the regular method of putting your e-mail address in and PW. For some reason it doesn't "talk" to the network properly. Iphone and BlackBerry are no problem. This "problem", as the Telus support agent put it, has always been around for the Android phones.

Anyway, I have been told about some possible "work arounds."

1. Setup a new G-Mail account and FORWARD my Shaw mail to it.

2. Use the browser to go to my webmail and get it that way.

3. There's an app through g-mail that I can get on the phone.

So...what have people here been doing? I have 2 g-mail accounts already and 3 shaw-mail accounts.

Getting all 5 through my BlackBerry was no problem. Now it seems to be on this new phone.

I have 14 days to decide and then I can take the phone back and go back to my BlackBerry. I'd rather not do that. I want to keep this android phone.

So...any idea from the CP collective?

Thanks in advance!
