If you experience delays (but not failures), a likely cause is 3rd-party security programs such as antivirus. Start Windows in safe mode with networking and see if the performance of TB changes.

I'd also suggest using secure settings for Shaw accounts: incoming POP server pop.shaw.ca on port 995, SSL/TLS security, authentication = normal password, User name = address part before the @. Outgoing SMTP server mail.shaw.ca on port 587, STARTTLS security, authentication = normal password, User name = address part before the @.

Note that for these settings to work, you must use a 'secure' password.
